The cedar pollen never affected me when I moved to the hill country in 1973, but has been rough on me the past 20 or so years.
We are in the center of the red cedar and I wish the state would take Hydro Mulchers, line them up and cut down every cedar tree from Ft Hood to San Antonio.
My neighbor came over yesterday and asked if it had already hit me. He says I am his cedar fever barometer so he can expect his wife to start sneezing.
OK. I was wrong. It was Mad Cow they spread by burning the cattle corpses. My bad.
Nobody out sick at Brookshire Brothers or the associated Tobacco Barn.
They had heard of this though.
After surviving 7 cases of pneumonia, I can say with some certainty that consuming milk always made the symptoms worse. I've dropped milk entirely from my diet. The few subsequent chest colds over the years did not progress into pneumonia.
Damaged kidneys before symptoms sounds like poisoning to me.
A strain of hanta virus?
“Damaged kidneys before symptoms sounds like poisoning to me.”
People have died with unknown disease. WHERE ARE THESE FEDERAL AGENCIES TO SAVE US?:
FEMA,
HOMELAND SECURITY,
WHERE IS HUSSEIN VISITNG TO SHOW HIS CONCERN,
ERIC HOLDER TO PUNISH WHOEVER STARTED THIS,
DEPT. OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES?
Oh, yes, I know why they don’t care - this is Texas so let them die. Actually, we will likely do better without their butting in.
Maybe this disease just stops where it is and no one presents with it again.
Maybe no more people will get it, whatever it is.
You know if it is still here to be caught, between Conroe and The Woodlands, people from Spring and Houston are in and out of this county all day. If it can be caught it will move all over Houston and if it is in cough spittle, consider it over Houston already.
This is all speculation so let's see what the experts find from the work they are doing right now. I'll stay in my self exile until I know what's happening.
You are wise to stay home.
Also, a little off subject, but with the winter solstice coming up/full moon, it is high holiday for the wicked. There is not much wicked around these days. Just sayin’.
please add me to bring out your dead ping list
I think I am tough enough
bttt

Four so far. That’s a very high death rate.
There have been rumblings about this in the last few months... If it was the flu why hasn’t the media been pushing it as a diversion against bammy care....
Ny Guess... It is MERS and the media is burying it because of Saudi monies....
Not the flu...but Ping!, anyway!
Mice carry hantavirus too, not just rats. You don’t have to be poor to get a mouse in the house, and the further you live out of town, the more they seem to try to invade in the fall.
sounds like hemolytic uremic syndrome which is most commonly caused by the toxic e coli sometimes found in raw meat. Of course there are a multitude of other causes as well.
The more affluent tend to have household help so it's more likely a mouse will be caught than in a house where both parents work and household help cannot be afforded.
Certainly there will be more mice and rats in the country, but hopefully not in the house.
“Thus releasing the spores over an even wider area. Brilliant.”
It’s the CDC (or some government agency) who does this. Apparently the spores are in the vent ducts and there is no way to clean a house.
I think they fill the house with kerosene, so it’s pretty fast and hot and everything gets cooked.
Apparently virii don’t have spores. But after what happened with the Mad Cow Disease, I don’t instantly assume fire is the correct approach.
Thanks for the ping.
Isn't that higher than the flu of 1918?
