I am not an alarmist, and don't believe there is any significant threat to us on Hallowe'en. Most of the dithering and nail-biting is due to hysteria, and kids and parents should feel safe to go trick-or-treating.
Having said that, I'd like to suggest a way to help ease parents' fears on Hallowe'en, and I'd like your opinion of this (this is only for you hysterical types who would otherwise NOT let your kids go trick-or-treating):
Send your kids out with enough baggies for the number of houses you think they'll visit. 100 houses? 100 baggies. They're cheap. Pre-tag each baggie with a sticker.
Instruct your kids NOT to let people put candy in their large bag or pail. INSTEAD, the kids should collect the candy by hand, place it in a baggie, and mark the house number on the sticker. The kids or parents should do this in view of the homeowner, calling out the house number.
Many parents follow their kids from door to door, so the parents can do this themselves. Now you will know which house gave you what candy, and any miscreant (there are extremely few of these, by the way) giving out tainted candy will be a bit alarmed to see their candy tagged, and nervous parents will feel better.
I'm worried, but believe me...I'm not hiding under the bed. Yet. LOL.
This is just the kind of hysteria I'm referring to. I take it you play the lottery?
Your accuracy rate remains unchallenged.
Yes, I just damned you with faint praise, Chicken Big.
Go to: http://www.medicinegarden.com
Read about Homeopathic remedies for bios. That site is worth investigating. Keep an open mind, as a person of science.
I also have the website of a place in the U. K. that has over 3,000 remedies, including the ones mentioned at medicinegarden.com. to be used in case of bio attacks.
If you home school, good for you! I teach in a public elementary school, and I am highly concerned that our children, youth, college-aged students will be under attack.
Also Hahnemann Pharmacy in Albany, CA has a home kit of remedies for about $120.00.
God bless!
My conclusions of this extensive investigation, from a Christian Physician's perspective, were summarized in this editorial I wrote, published in a national Catholic weekly newspaper.
Please read it with an open mind, and most importantly, an open heart.
He remembers it because of the way I was vaccinated. I was vaccinated with a needle and not the with the stick method (which leaves the scar, I don't have a scar) I was given a in-activated (dead from) of the smallpox vaccine.
The doctor asked my father and offered to give me a smallpox vaccine. He said sure. (which I am very happy about) Also, he told be I was one of the last to be vaccinated because the doctor mentioned he was going to get rid of his supply of the smallpox vaccine shortly after I got vaccinated.
I hope this clears up some questions.
I suppose killing our little girls would be okay then.
