E. Coli Outbreaks

The danger for all of us is contracting an illness that might kill you or severely injure you simply by having a meal at the wrong location or buying tainted food.  Picture yourself losing 50 pounds in 3 months as you lose your appetite and spend most of your day with intestinal discomfort.  For your long term health I'd suggest limiting your meals out to places that you can watch the food begin prepared.  I currently see Subway as my only safe place to eat when traveling.

Aside from that I stick with pasta without meat or pizza without meat.  There are too many ways to lose your life and doing it over a bad meal just isn't worth it.  You can save a lot of money by staying home and making your own food.  In addition by making your effort at self preparation you'll be more independent if the merry-go-round stops. 

Here is another reminder why watching what you eat and where you go to eat is a major part of self preservation.

Contagion in America

We have so much to worry about and now comes Chagas, an insect borne disease that helps to destroy your heart through parasitic infestation.  The list of maladies to protect against is growing daily but this one sounds especially happy.  Spread by the kissing bug it is a tiny parasite that moves into your body once you scratch the itch of the insect bite.

Chagas as the new AIDS for the Americas 
Since the Yahoo article is short on facts but long on fear I thought I'd add the NIH take on things.

NIH - Chagas

CDC - Chagas

Here is the Wikipedia Version of Chagas information.

Enjoy your day.

P.S. As if that wasn't enough here is a report of flea transmitted typhus in Santa Ana

Flesh Eating Zombies: A good reason to get armed.

Indian Women Getting Armed Up

It sounds like we have at least one country still moving in the right direction of personal defense rights.  Women are Buying Guns in India

Banning Shotguns

Here is an interesting take  on the ATF working towards stringent definitions of sporting guns.  After this election all bets could be off when it comes to buying your self protection.    Right now though, they can use administrative means to deny the availability of certain types of guns.

Safe Revolver Use

For the beginning shooter this is must video if you intend to own a revolver or shoot one someday.  Revolvers function differently than an auto-loading pistol and what you don't know can injure you badly.

Check out this video on the risk of escaping gasses from the side of a revolver to convince you not to hold one the way a auto-loader is held.
