A girl in Colorado contracted the Bubonic Plague and her smart doctors not only correctly diagnosed the disease, but cured her. Dr. Jennifer Snow had never seen a case out side of her microbiology lab in school. Pretty amazing stuff.

South-West Nile Outbreak: Day 28
Now Virginia has a reported death. This is the third for the region, with several others infected. Maryland and DC both have a death each, and several reported cases. Also according to the article, for the last 5 years, the state reported 1-5 cases a year. Is the drought really causing a mosquito explosion?
Purple Eyeball Eater
First it was the Fleshing-Eating bacteria, and now this.  Apparently UK scientists have discovered a common parasite that apparently lives on contact lenses and gnaws through your eyeballs, causing vision problems, and even blindness. It’s found in dust, pool water, and even tap water. Contacts have been around for decades, why is this just now being discovered? IT EATS YOUR EYEBALLS! That’s just insane.
Here is the CDC’s official website on the parasite.
East West Nile
It looks like the West Nile is not exclusive to the west. A New Jersey man died from the West Nile virus last week. The article does not give his age, as most of the deaths have been to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
*Warning Conspiracy Theory*
I have been thinking about this a lot, since the FFP has seemingly turned into a warning banner for the explosion of strange viral and bacterial infections flooding the mainstream news. Most of these infections are not extremely virulent, Ebola being the obvious exception, so it makes you wonder why now? These diseases are targeting the physically weaker of the society, culling the herd if you will. Is this man made (purposeful or otherwise), or is his Mother Earth balancing the scales?
The Yosemite Files: Contagion in Curry Village: Day 21
This is from the 6th, and while a little old, I felt it was worth noting. 3 people have now died, and 8 are sick. Calls are still going out all over the world. I have no idea how they are going to prevent this from happening in the future. I also want them to tell us why is this happening now?
