Ticks

When I was a kid in Vancouver we were taught in school to check for ticks regularly. They like moist warm places like under arms, your privates, under the elastic waste band of your underwear you can remove them burning them out with the head of a match or a hot needle. We never thought of it then if you got one your mom removed it and you just got on with you day.

Neither Lyme nor West Nile were in Canada at the time. Both are a result of less severe winters allowing the insects that carry them to spread north. Thankfully Lyme hasn't reached much past Lake Ontario yet.
We also never heard of swine flu, bird flu and mad cow disease. Guess we lived in simpler times back then.

A friend of mines grand daughter had one on her head last week.
She just happened to be running her fingers through her grand daughters her to sooth her before bed and came upon a little lump which upon closer inspection turned out to be a tick. Out came the tweezers and the tick was gone. the next day she was off to the doctor. Got some compounded 1 day prescription for it and all is well.
The scary part is she lives in Burlington and the 5 year old by all accounts was on a playground in the city that day. times they are a changing my friends.

The spread of pathogens waiting to mutate due to climate change.
But have no fear, Andrew Scheer has a cure.

You never head of the flu epidemic of 1918? That was a strain of of swine flu and killed around 5% of the world population.
Read about it in the history book. Same with the Black Death. The English suffered less because they boiled their water to make tea.
If all else fails, there is always skin cancer from too much sun. (I still can't believe that when we were kids we would lie naked soaking up the sun after swimming.)
We should hope that The Blue Soldier never returns, scientists still don't know what set it off. It germinated in the feed lots of Kansas in 1918. Most likely a mutation from a cattle virus.
When you fuck with Nature it always fucks back - nobody had ever heard of an insignificant tributary of the Congo River called the Ebola River before. The area was clear cut for farming and it's waters diverted for irrigation, releasing billions of pathogens. What are the odds that one of them doesn't mutate? Currently the Ebola River trickles into the Congo.
Twister didn't get the point, we can no longer be focused on just growing the economy any more.
