Off Topic Discussion / Re: So a tick got me...
« on: May 07, 2025, 06:47:10 pm »
I found another tick on me today. This one was crawling on my shirt and so it was easy to spot and dispose of (Enjoy the water ride into the septic system!). However, this incident just goes to prove that performing tick checks the moment you go indoors after working outside is critical. Also, I always wear an outer long-sleeve shirt outdoors whenever possible along with an inner T-shirt whenever I am performing outdoor chores.

The prior tick bite that I experienced appears to have not been consequential, to my great relief. You can never be too careful, though. Stay safe!

Other Viruses And Diseases / Hoof-and-Mouth Disease - Europe - 2025 events
« on: April 17, 2025, 04:29:38 pm »
SUMMARY - The United Kingdom is restricting what foods citizens from the European Union may bring over into the country. This restriction is the result of a rising number of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (otherwise known as Hoof-and-Mouth), a highly-contagious and sometimes fatal animal disease, cases in Europe. The restriction includes sandwiches, cheese, cured meats such as ham, raw meat or milk. The UK had already banned personal imports of cattle, sheep and other ruminants and pork, as well as dairy products from Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria earlier this year in response to confirmed outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in those countries.
