You're also almost 10,000 times more likely to be killed by lightening than mad cow disease.

You're also almost 10,000 times more likely to be killed by lightening than mad cow disease. Maybe according to official figures, but the symptoms of BSE, (Or NVCJD) are indistinguishable from Alzheimer's. The only way to tell for sure is to dissect the brain after death. And as Alzheimer's is fairly confidently diagnosed in the elderly, it rarely merits an autopsy. Cause of death? Alzheimer's (Or more likely, complications of Alzheimer's) on the death certificate, get them buried and out of the way. Keeps the real level of New Variant CJD deaths in the elderly nice and low. And seeing as the incubation period for NVCJD is anything up to 25 years, no-one is any the wiser. I suspect the levels would soar if they examined the brains of Alzheimer's related deaths in the elderly as a matter of course. Especially seeing as the incidence of Alzheimer's has risen dramatically since the BSE scare in the late 80's. |

Domestic bathrooms are also a death trap - just sayin'. But no one has renditioned any tilers lately have they? home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/household-safety/tips/most-dangerous-room2.htmIn Addition: 341 people died last year by drowning in their own bathrooms (US) 1,885 people died from falling in a room of their own or someone else's home. Falls out of bed come right behind slips in the bathroom. 3,059 people died as a result of hospital errors. (well that they admitted to or couldn't sneak past the Coroner as "natural causes" The filth took out 359 accidentally. (wonder how many they took careful aim at?) At least 40 people a year die in the US as the result of allergic (anaphylactic) reactions to insect bites. 11 people a year die of peanut allergies and over two hundred more have life threatening reactions but are treated in time to save them, usually with the epipen in people who have been diagnosed with the allergy and carry the pen. Damn - gotta watch that living -= it can kill you!! |

It does not pollinate.
Not true of the Fig Wasp,Fig wasps are responsible for pollinating almost 1,000 species of figs. Figs are unusual fruits as the flowers are actually inside the immature fruit. Fig wasps enter through a tiny pore to mate,lay eggs,and pollinate the tiny flowers.

I'm still freaking that Alzheimers might be mad cow. It is going to bother me for a long time. What if I end up with Alzheimers? They can't test me without taking out my brain. So I could be sitting there all mad cowed out and people saying "oh poor dear, she has the alzheimers".... but it isn't........  |

You can only get it from eating the brain and spinal cords of infected cattle, and as far as I know, Britain was the only country that thought it was a good idea to feed dead sheep that died of scrapie to cows. I never stopped eating beef when the scare was on over here, and my mind is as sharp as a . . . . . erm. . . sharp thing . . . shiny . . new . . pin! See? Safe as houses. Moo! eta: They can test for it with a MRI Scan. There are progressively growing holes in the brains of CJD sufferers that are hard to miss. But they don't routinely run those tests on Alzheimer's patients. Even if they did, it wouldn't matter by that stage, because . . . I'm a little goblin . . . . wheee, Nursey! Who am I today? *Bibble gibber rant* |

Thanks, I feel much better now.....
We've had cases, more than they've allowed the public to know about. They're big on keeping things quiet in the US government. They don't think the people can handle the truth. So they hide shit and lie to us. We honestly have no idea how many cases there have been here.

Bees and wasps are all hybrids today, bred by terrorists and then released in targeted countries.

If we didn't have wasps we would need to invent them,they are important pest control,doing near as good a job of it as spiders. They get a bad rep because when people think wasp they picture yellow jackets and their kin.
