A common killer bug is endangering Americans: ‘Pandemic in plain sight’
Fox ^ | 5-2-25 | Dr. Marc Siegel , Melissa Rudy

Posted on 05/02/2025 8:57:32 AM PDT by dynachrome

ive years after the worldwide hyperfocus on COVID-19 began, some are concerned about the next pandemic — whether it could be caused by influenza, bird flu or another pathogen.

Too easily overlooked are non-influenza, non-COVID viruses and bacteria that are burgeoning and spreading unchecked — both in the U.S. and around the world. While they may not cause the next pandemic, they do cause a lot of illness and death.

One such bacteria is Streptococcus Group A, an old enemy that colonizes the throat and tonsils of close to 20% of U.S. children, according to Dr. Joshua Osowicki, team leader and senior research fellow at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia.

Or you can gargle with Listerine.

Works fairly well to keep your throat healthy.

....”...One such [bacterium] is Streptococcus Group A, an old enemy that colonizes the throat and tonsils of close to 20% of U.S. children...”.....yes, when we were kids, our parents always said to use Listerine whenever we had the beginnings of a sore throat....it tasted like hell, but it worked....

Rather than hiding in my closet, I’ve decided on a daily regimen of Ivermectin as a prophylactic measure. I started taking it last Summer to treat rheumatoid arthritis in my foot. WHAT A BLESSING!!!

Kinda interesting how India and Sub0saharan Africa gave it to everyone during COVID and these regions, by far, had the lowest rates of infection and severe outcomes.

Horse de-wormer pasts my backside! Stock up!

I was heading for my safe space with just enough time to grab my mask and take this laptop with me.

If anyone is still around to read this, take cover and lock down.

Not unless you are gargling with it. And if so, what kind of barbarian are you?:)

Actually it is the Thymol that does the trick.

IIRC, a new type of paint has been developed that kills Strep in hospitals, which will reduce # of infections.

I suppose that killer agent in paint may find its way into medicines.

Highly recommended. Mumbai, India. I’ve used them for about four years now.
