An outbreak of a new viral infection referred to as tomato flu that was first detected in children in the southern Indian state of Kerala in May has spread to two other states.
According to an article in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 82 children aged under five had been diagnosed with the virus in Kerala as of 26 July.
Cases have now been reported in neighbouring Tamil Nadu state and in Odisha in the east, where children as old as nine have been infected, even though the virus usually affects under-fives.
Scientists are still trying to identify exactly what this virus is. It has been referred to as tomato flu because of the painful red blisters it produces on the body, and it is very contagious. Children are particularly vulnerable because it spreads easily through close contact, such as via nappies, touching unclean surfaces or putting things in mouths.
“The rare viral infection is in an endemic state and is considered non-life-threatening; however, because of the dreadful experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, vigilant management is desirable to prevent further outbreaks,” the Lancet article said.
Doctors say diagnosing tomato flu is difficult because its symptoms are very similar to those of Covid, chikungunya and dengue fever. The latter two are common in India during the rainy season and are spread by mosquitoes. Chikungunya is particularly widespread in Kerala.
The Lancet article says tomato flu could be an after-effect of chikungunya or dengue fever in children rather than a viral infection.

Quick, get another jab!
Or, could it be a side effect of the CCP-Coronavirus or the CCP-Coronavirus ‘shots’?
“Scientists are still trying to identify exactly what this virus is”
Start with the mRNA COVID ‘vaccines’......
Mighty, mighty strange how all these things began to come about in and around the time of the COVID ‘vaccines’....
You say tomato and I say tomahto,
You say COVID and I say WuFlu:
Tomato, tomahto, COVID, WuFlu,
Let’s call the whole thing off...
(at least it isn’t hanumanpox)
Attack of Killer Tomatoes
TOMATOE
I get the tomato flu every August when my plans come in with the green fruit for fried green tomatoes. Followed by the BLTs.
Ping me if you want my secret for the best BLT you ever ate.

Don’t be coy. Just post your recipe. :-)
Tomato flu outbreak in India spreads to two more states
Health officials are working to ketchup.
Health officials are working hard across the globe to find another covid19. There, fixed it.
Shut the lab door. Lemme guess, a nearby pharmaceutical co is making a better vax by gain of function, I mean bioweaponizing another scamdemic. The only way to see if your vax works is to release the virus against your vax.

Tomato flu? Imagine if this were the watermelon flu! The cries of racism would never stop.
Looks like Money Pox mated with OMG-Kron BA.5 !!!!
OK, no coy . . .
My little secret improves any existing recipe you may love for the BLT.
Wet bacon with water and bread your bacon with Atkinson chicken breader (for all meats and veggies, too), wait 10 minutes for the breader to moisten thru, and fry until golden. Use no oil, but a couple tbsps of non-salt butter in the pan will help prime the rending of fat in the bacon. Medium to medium-high heat. You don’t want to rush this.
A whole other bacon nation starts here.
Find Atkinson on line and order from the mfgr, as Amazon is more expensive because a higher shipping fee is wrapped into the cost. For shipping on the Atkinson site, make sure to browse for the FedEx ground choice, as it is cheaper than either UPS or USPS.
No need to thank me. Just try it. Full disclosure: I think I got the recommendation for Atkinson seafood breeder from another FReeper on a long ago thread. The products are fab. I’m giving two-pound bags this year as stocking stuffers.
