Another Lovely Gift from Mexico

No reason to build that border wall #17,056. And you thought their gifts were limited to freeloaders, salmonella, and e-coli. Silly geese!

It's Not a Tumor, It's a Brain Worm

Late last summer, Rosemary Alvarez of Phoenix thought she had a brain tumor. But on the operating table her doctor discovered something even more unsightly -- a parasitic worm eating her brain..."We've got a lot more of cases of this in the United States now," said Raymond Kuhn, professor of biology and an expert on parasites at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. "Upwards of 20 percent of neurology offices in California have seen it."

According to Kuhn, who has traveled to study this parasite, cysticercosis is a big problem in some parts of Latin America and Mexico where health codes are hard to enforce and people may frequently eat undercooked pork. As people travel across the border with Mexico for vacation and work, Kuhn said so does the tapeworm. One person infected with a parasite, who also has bad hand washing habits, can infect many others with eggs.

"These eggs can live for three months in formaldehyde," said Kuhn. "You got to think, sometimes, a person is slapping lettuce on your sandwich with a few extra add-ons there."

There's an ER nurse in my condo complex. We chat from time to time and she has told me the illegals (Latin America, Caribbean and Africa) are bringing diseases such as leprosy and TB back into this country.

Open borders - SO F*&^]ING WONDERFUL!!!!!!

I remember reading that God forbade the eating of pork but . . . . . the people laughed and partied on.

Well Moses did anyway... Jesus said that it's not what you put in your mouth that makes you unclean, it's what comes out of it.

You can get parasites from virtually anything you eat. Pork these days is the cleanest meat you can buy. Cows however spend their entire lives laying outdoors on a crap pile.

#1 Moses is not my Savior so IF he did eat pork at some point in his life it doesn't matter.

#2 Jesus' life was under the most careful scrutiny and as a practicing Jew certainly not eat pork nor should His words be misconstrued to condone it.

#3 The diet God meant for man to have was carefully laid out in Genesis. That will be the one for heaven where there will be no more death or sorrows, so why not get a headstart now?

Yep, it won't be what they thought, and they'll still find a way to blame us.

Whooping cough has also made a huge comeback.

There’s a real reason for immigration laws, and health is definitely a huge reason.

Come on, now, Bob. The dietary restrictions in the Old Testament were intended to separate the Jews from the Gentiles. God called on them to show that they were different. The same goes for circumcision.

Take a good look at the book of Acts, and Paul’s letters. They are rife with criticism of Jews who attempted to convince Christians that they should continue the restrictions of the Jews given in the Old Testament.

I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 40 years and when I read articles like this I just about get down on my knees in thankfulness.
