I’d take the Dengue Fever over the Mandingo Fever that’s been rampant in this country for the last year or so. A lot less lethal....
This is making things easier for Chris Simcox....McCain, La Raza, US Chamber of Comm. cant be too happy now
bttt
Mexico is a giant petri dish.
Thanks for posting.....
I've been to the border many times, it is truly a cesspool.
The odor of raw sewage follows you throughout Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Matamoras. Very dirty border towns.
Very poor sanitation, the water supply undrinkable (certainly to Americans), head lice, the air is hazardous to breath, high rates of birth defects along the Rio Grande due to industrial pollution in the river.
Most Americans have never seen the border. Mainstream America would be shocked at what they would witness if ever to visit the border towns.
It is a lawless place. 3rd world poverty, Drugs, prostitution, government extortion, kidnappings and so forth.
Hell, cops will search your vehicle, after you drive away, your minus a camera or whatever they feel like taking.
Trust me on this, I am a native Texan, the border needs to be shut down. National guard troops need to patrol our border with Mexico.
Thousands of murders have occurred along our border with Mexico in the last several years. More people have died of violence than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined in the last two years.
Over 8000 people.........Our government doesn't even blink an eye.
We are being sold out y'all.
Years ago I met a girl with dengue. To start with, there has long been an alert for it for doctors in southern Arizona. It has weird symptoms, and is not something easily confused with other diseases, except, of all things, influenza. But you also usually get a distinctive rash of red and purple spots caused by clusters of ruptured capillaries. Also diarrhea and vomiting, maybe.
One of its nicknames is “break-bone fever”, because every single joint in your body hurts. Including every vertebrae. Joints can sometimes swell as well. Though it is active for a week, you are miserable for about three weeks. It is somewhat related to Hepatitis C.
The first time out you usually just get sick. But unpredictably it can turn into a hemorrhagic form, like ebola, usually with a second infection. They don’t know why, but if you catch it once, no more vacations South of the border for you.
There is no treatment other than palliatives.
The best bet is to avoid mosquitoes, or raise pet dragonflies.
Immigration reform will bring a flood of new illegals with diseases that until now never made it here. Another additional reason to stop amnesty.
Great.
An old friend is heading that way next week.
