UPDATE: It is now thought that a large increase in the mice population is the cause for the outbreaks of the Hantavirus. Of the traps they set, usually 17-25% get sprung, where as this year 45% were. This, and other factors, make the experts believe this is the cause. The next logical question is: What is causing the over population?
As usual we will stay on top on this situation. Article Here
I have heard several news sources echoing what I have been getting at in this blog for the past few months: We are in a epidemic of epidemics. This news article from the Washington Post is along the lines of what I have been saying, but it really only goes into the West Nile and the Yosemite Hantavirus. Apparently they aren’t reading the Funk Freedom Press as religiously as they should be otherwise they would know about ALL the various diseases that are back en force (outlined here for new readers to the FFP) . Coast to Coast recently dedicated half of their nightly show to the strange outbreaks that have been plaguing the US some of which slipped under my watchful eye. People are taking note, and you read it here first.
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.
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?
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.
