I am having a bad day. Could you quote the part that says that? Thanks.
"The reason? Potential contamination with Bacillus cereus."
So, your statement that they found the Bacteria in the wipes was incorrect. Thank you.
You take your argument to court for the company that made these wipes and I'll take mine.
Guess who will walk away with the money?
The wipes were recalled for the same bacteria. Since the specific wipes which were used on the baby were probably covered in Poo and thrown away it would be impossible to test them.
Yes, that can help, too, but we don’t normally keep ammonia around the house..............
Well I live in Florida and have to fight these buggers every year. I’ve found it very useful to spend a buck and keep a small bottle around the house.
Use it and forget you were ever bitten within an hour.
Don’t use it and suffer for days.
I live in Florida, too.
We have fire ants every year and I get stung at least two or three times, usually feet and legs, working in the yard. Alcohol and neosporin we have on hand seems to work well. I know ammonia works and it also is great for jellyfish stings, too...............
I use ammonia on mosquito bites. Works great. Also use Listerine, the unflavored, original one to repel mossies and other flying bugs.
Not moving to that state, no way.
Ps. Green Soap works wonders too.
Have you tried instant grits?
We used instant grits in SC to get rid of numerous fire ant mounds. Cheap and mighty effective.
If they don’t go for the grits, try a product called Terro sold in Lowe’s.
It works quite well. Contains microscopic grains of borax.
Well, it’s like anything else. You get used to them being around.
Just like the alligators, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, cotton mouths, copperheads, bears, panthers, bobcats and coyotes, armadillos, love bugs and ..........
Apparently I have Yankee fire ants. They don’t like grits................
LOL!
You take your argument to court for the company that made these wipes and I'll take mine.
The judge would throw you out of court for misrepresenting your sources.
lol seesac you are fun to argue with.
My neighbor found a coral snake in his yard. Also you forgot feral hogs. Same neighbor had his yard dug up by hogs.
We had a coral snake at work a couple of years back. Had to call animal control officers to come get it. It was a big one, about 3 feet long!
Feral hogs are a problem on Eglin AFB. They are digging up endangered species plants and breed like rabbits. I dont know why they dont just declare open season on wild hogs all year round. I saw a show on the History Channel that said all the wild hogs in Florida came here with the Spanish explorers, DeSoto and others. They got loose and nearly destroyed all the Indians food crops.....
They all were imported into the U.S. They made a good source of meat for the explorers.
The good thing is they have small mouths and basically have to chew on you in order to hurt you.
Outbreaks of cryptosporidiasis (that I am aware of) occur mostly among children in a group setting. It is spread through contact with fecal matter, and small children are not very good at hygiene. I hate to try to remember the proper decontamination procedure off the top of my head, but it involves first soaking all surfaces in diluted bleach for a period of time, wiping up the bleach, then soaking in hydrogen peroxide for a period of time. As to exact concentrations and times, I just don't remember. Luckily, procedures are available through Google.
I have also heard of children becoming ill after playing in sprinklers at parks, where a sick child had played. Getting rid of cryptosporidia in such a setting is a bit more challenging.
