Well maybe because folks live their lives elsewhere and move to Fl,get diagnosed with Cancer,ever type and die.
Dont mean Fl causes cancer its just your life style before moving there did.
Who would have thought “ingesting” gerbils would cause cancer....go figure.
Well, Kaposi’s Sarcoma manifests as skin lesions. I’m wondering if that is what they mean?
“Should Mayor Pete be required to have an AIDS test?”
