I remember reports of this infection spreading throughout US prisons earlier this year. Now it has jumped into the athletic/general population.
The over-use of antibiotics by our nation has created a bitter harvest and I for one wonder when SARS 2, the contagious version will hit. Be vigilant about the cleanliness of your equipment!

We've had a real problem with this at one of our local hospitals a few years ago. IIRC they were trailing the use of eucalyptus oil as a disinfectant. Which made me think "huh, ironic. All that vitriol towards herbs and junk, and now they use eucalyptus oil. Good for them!"

My memory is kinda hazy on the topic. Could be wrong.

Not sure that the trial worked either

Oh, I fight the Culture of Fear as best I can. Yet the literature and my personal experience have led me to believe that we are entering a time of much biological suffering. Nothing we can really do about it, except be healthy and strong. This of course being a great place to learn how to do both :D

Hi Jesse:

Whatever you believe (aka Faith) will come to pass (aka Manifest)

I choose to believe in abundant health, wealth, and Joy.

So far it has worked perfectly.

A very interesting point. A good friend of mine has a similar theory and it seems to work great for him as well. Perhaps I need to re-think mine. Thanks to everyone for the discussion!

Jimmy, thanks for posting that link.

The book has certain anti gun agenda, which I disagree with, but the messages are still very sound and the book is very good.
