~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

16 months ago my son went into the hospital because ( they thought) he had double pneumonia and antibiotics did nothing for it. It was a severe inflammation of the lungs. After numerous tissue samples were sent to labs around the country nobody could identify it.

They asked him a million questions in an attempt to figure out what was happening. Like many homeowners, he had bats that sometimes lived in the garage and dropped batcrap. The spores from that can be deadly to some.

Another one that really got their attention was that his dog had caught a rabbit and ate a bunch of it before ralphing it up on the floor. He cleaned it up. They said inhaling the spores from bunny fur can be fatal to some.

Most people are not affected by any of this but to some people it can be fatal quickly.
