swine flu

okay.. so I am absolutley terrified of the swine flu, I must admit. I am one of those who went out and bought masks right away, and wanted to lock myself away in the house. I have reasons for this, but we won’t go into that. Anyways.. I am so nervous about when school starts up again. Kids are just germ magnets, and it is going to be impossible to keep them healthy. You can’t when you have that many people in one area, who don’t really know or care how dangerous germs can be. The scariest part is, if they don’t get the vaccines out in time. I know everything has something or other to say about whether or not there should be a vaccine after the 1976 swine flu vaccine catastrophe, but it really is the only defense that those who have a lowered immune system, or other risk factors have.

    Canteloupe

    The current list of recalls in canteloupe is quite extensive and covers many brands and locations. If you purchase canteloupe in any form (cut, sliced, whole) you need to check the various announcements. The concern is about salmonella.

    Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of food-borne Salmonella infection include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Individuals who have recently eaten cantaloupe and experienced any of these symptoms should contact their health care professional.
