People, don't you think this e-bullying has gone on long enough?
Frankly, while I wasn't annoyed by the initial issue I'm starting to
get really annoyed by this. Yes we get that you didn't like
someone's post...you've made that more clear than my ADHD 8yr old
nephew make a point, so can we stop now and move on?
Nobody who was complaining was purposefully trying to hurt anyone's
feelings, but yall are now trying to hurt theirs. Can we stop with
the childish remarks?
If this is a campfire, at this point I'm getting ready to walk away
from it as it's getting annoying and sounding more like a cub scout
campfire than anything else. Isn't that the point of the off topic
list?

Diana and others,
I can't agree more, Multi Drug Resistant TB is serious stuff and I
knew that
S.A. and the Rio Grande Valley are in the thick of the fight. Very
interesting
article, something I've been following in the press for a number of
years.
There is also an excellent book called Mountains beyond Mountains
which
discusses the TB issue along with health care issues in developing
countries,
places where cavers frequent (my tie in to caving and making this a
relevant
topic for Texas Cavers). An individuals can place the population at
great risk.
Most of us don't remember that a simple infection before the 1940's
could be a
death sentence but with the advent of modern antibiotics, folks
dying of common
infections became a thing of the past. Most of the folks jailed
with infectious
diseases.
The over prescription of antibiotics to treat every runny nose and
the self
medication with antibiotics available over the counter in many
countries has
resulted in the effective loss of many antibiotics. I'm not afraid
of Ebola but
of MDR TB, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and some of the other
diseases which were
real killers 60 years ago.
MDR TB is an excellent example of evolution which reminds me of my
favorite Opus
Cartoon which has the old man in the doctor's office being
examined. The Dr.
tells the old man that he has TB and the man asks him what they
could do about
that. The doctor said, that depends on whether you believe in
creation or
evolution. If you believe in creation, we'll treat you with the old
antibiotics
and you'll die. If you believe in evolution, we'll treat you with
the new
antibiotics the bacterium hasn't evolved resistance too, and you'll
live. LOL
