Things You Should Never Google

Another thing you should never Google: Flesh-eating Virus

A co-worker of mine was digging in his garden prior to going to work. He contacted the virus while doing so, and the ramifications were unbelievable. As he was driving (think 30-minutes after being in the garden) his thumb started hurting. The pain increased with every minute, until he arrived in the work parking lot. He was in so much pain he was crying and was taken to the med facility, where they immediately sent him to the hospital. This is a rare condition, but the ICU had a doctor there that had JUST treated the condition a few short weeks earlier at another hospital. He immediately had the guy air-lifted to an emergency center in the Bay area where it was confirmed.

The guy lost about 30 pounds, and his thumb shriveled up to the size of a #2 pencil. He very nearly died.

I'd post pictures, but I haven't had my breakfast yet...

I WISH it were fiction, but it's brutally true. The county I live in is considered THE most susceptible area in the country to get it - even as rare as it is in this area. He had to modify his diet at lunch at work. Every single day he had a HUGE sandwich...a turkey sandwich with about 1/2 pound of meat. He was told he had to eat very lean and get as much protein into each meal as he could.

A YEAR later, his thumb still looked like a small carrot. it didn't start appearing anywhere close to "normal" for about 3 years.

For anyone who likes sunflower seeds…

Pennsylvania bird shot

You’re welcome!
Sounds interesting. How do you get them in there? I had a video one time from when the alt.binary groups where still around. Red jello in one enima and green in the other. Side by side like a contest. Red won longer and more pressure. I think her provider got more in. Fantastic spray against a shower curtain. Great sound effects too. Wouldn't want to do it but fun to watch!
 
Actually, something you probably don't want to Google is how Missouri declared open season on Mormons. And then promptly forgotten they'd done that. For about 140 years.
Oh, you’re talking about the group that Marry children and have plural marriages yeah, Why are you bringing up something that happened long before we were here that you had no control of it has no impact on today

A. The title of the thread is "Things You Don't Want To Google."

B. I'm originally from Missouri as well, and I like to point that fact out because it actually explains a lot. ;)
