Maybe it's not the snails...

Steroid-responsive aseptic meningitis after BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine

FWIW, unless I see the patient's labs, I'm not taking Big Med's word for anything.

Also, wonder if we're seeing an unexpected increase in aseptic meningitis around the country?

Inquiring minds want to know.

jugotitmang! 👍

It ain’t workin’ though

Don’t forget those mystery pediatric hepatitis cases that have been blamed on everything from pets to strawberries...

I’ve eaten snails. FRENCH snails, cooked in garlic butter.

But they were farm raised, not wild.

I would never eat one of these monsters unless I was starving and then only if I could guarantee I could cook any possible disease out of it............

Thank you both for your contributions....they’ll be added to the list. 👍

Is there anything in Africa that won’t kill you?

Is there anything in Florida that isn't invasive? Yea, I'm including liberals from the northern states.......

My favorite Youtube channels are the ones where the individuals are out hunting iguanas with air rifles........And there was another guy hunting Cane Toads, another poisonous invasive species.

You forgot coral snakes!

[Red Badger]

Chewy.................

Maybe break out the pressure cooker..

[Red Badger]

Yes, that might work!.................

They can’t run very fast... open season and and offer $10.00 bounty and they’ll be wiped out in short order.

[Red Badger]

Just tell people they are an aphrodisiac and they will hunt them all down.................

Well, at least that will prove a distraction from all the tons of spiders running around down here spinning webs that I routinely run into.

Florida state song: Boris the Spider.

Florida state movie: Arachnophobia.

Florida state bird: some large, ugly spider.

Florida state food: some insect killed by a large, ugly spider.

A little butter from Brittany, a touch of garlic…..
