I'm in the health care business in Dallas/Tarrant counties and I haven't heard of any specific concerns regarding this but I'll see if I can dig anything up. I'm going to JPS Hospital(public hosp)in Ft Worth later today--if any nasty viral illness is spreading rapidly, this is where it would be in evidence.

I have been on the phone this morning with a friend from the Ft. Worth area…she is terribly sick and says that many people are ill at this time…It started with her mom being sick with some stomach problems and after being admitted developing this intestinal type flu. It seems to start with the intestinal symptoms and then progresses to the respiratory or vice versa. She is a nurse and was talking with a surgeon at the hospital that informed her that this was a “strange viral” type thing and she had performed two surgeries on the same night for perforated bowels (or developing holes in the bowel) in two women who had this thing and she also told her some cases were also showing up in New Mexico. She explained to me a few nights ago her mother had such explosive vomiting and diarrhea it was uncontrollable and she had never seen anything like it.

My friend had the respiratory type symptoms the past few days and said she was experiencing stomach pain that she described as “having eaten a plate full of glass” a severe gnawing type pain…but last night it became so severe she compared it to labor pains. She said a short time later she began to have the explosive reaction and ended up passed out on the bathroom floor and taken to the ER~ treated and she was told she could go home and return in the morning….as of this morning she was passing blood from her intestines and is being admitted to the hospital…..

a teenager in her neighborhood has developed it and passed out at the school yesterday and had the explosive reaction at the school while passed out….she said the ER staff are seeing a lot of it and many are out due to it…she asked if I could start a thread to see if anyone else is hearing about this or experiencing it….blessings T

OK..Holy crap...I will do some asking around. I had a strange case of gastroenteritis 3 days ago but it lasted 3 hrs and was gone.

anyway..if this is something IMO it was transmitted by restaurant workers, pizza delivery folks..on purpose.Remember, the islamics have easy access to your food in the kitchen, and your pizza in their car..............

Our chimney sweep was telling me today about some sort of flu hitting the Lancaster PA area. This is the first I've heard of it but I work this weekend and will query folks.
