I try to be an FYI blog when I need to……especially when it comes to possible health issues…..
The weekend and I have a health alert I need for my readers to now about…………
Spanish Flu……Bird Flu…..what do these have in common?
One was a pandemic and the other had the possibility to becoming one also….
I touch on this because of something I read the other day about another disease that could become a problem……
The Nipah virus has now killed at least a dozen people in southern India and health workers fear it could become a global epidemic if it isn’t tightly monitored. More than 40 other people have been infected with the virus, which has a mortality rate of around 75%, Fox News reports. Health officials believe the outbreak in Kerala state began with an infected fruit bat, with later infections coming from human-to-human contact. There’s no known cure or vaccine for Nipah, which causes symptoms including fever, vomiting, and convulsions. To avoid being infected by fruit bats, citizens have been urged to ignore fallen fruit on the ground, especially if it has claw or tooth marks.
Previous outbreaks of Nipah were recorded in West Bengal and Bangladesh, more than a thousand miles away from the current outbreak. Experts aren’t sure how it ended up in Kerala, especially since no cases have been detected elsewhere in southern India and even migratory bats don’t travel that far. Some experts believe it was spread through infected figs and dates, while others say pressures on fruit bat populations may have activated the virus. “This is why it is so important to find the source of this outbreak,” a medical officer tells FirstPost. “Only if we answer the question of how the virus came to this part of the world can we put in place scientific measures to ensure that such an outbreak does not happen anywhere close by again. Otherwise, we cannot be sure of how and in which way this virus would spread in the future.”
The one good thing is there are few fruit bats in the skies of America but that does not preclude some infected person from getting on a plane and spreading the disease worldwide.
Sorry to be a downer…..but it is better to know than be caught flat footed. right?
Like I said originally….FYI.
In Saner Thought 
Hadn’t heard about this yet. We get a lot of visitors from India of course, as well as British Indians visiting relatives. One to watch out for.
Best wishes, Pete.
In this world of globalism no place will be safe from a pandemic…..like I said a little FYI….chuq
If there is a profit to be made from treating the new disease you can bet your bottom dollar that it is going to spread. (Perhaps selectively).
Maybe we should look to India for those that need to be eliminated….chuq
Maybe we should look to India for those WHAT that need to be eliminated?

Hello great blog sharing information regarding health issues and depression.You can also choose counselling for depression and anxiety.There are a lot of benefits of depression counseling. But before determining whether or not you particularly will benefit from depression counseling, it is important to first note that it is common to feel depressed, sad, or lonely at different points in your life. These are common reactions or typical emotions to tough or hard times in life.At our Delhi and Gurgaon firm, we define or refer to counselling as a type of talk therapy that lets a person talk about their problems and feelings in a private and safe environment. By talking through ones problems, can an individual better understand him/herself and, with guidance, he/she is often able to make changes that improve his/her daily lives.Thanks.
Thanx I am pleased that you liked IST and thanx for the visit….chuq

Best article in the world.
I think we all are responsible for all this
in ancient times people used to live a long and healthy life 
Now with all the processed food and people throwing away garbage in the sea is one of the biggest issue taht is effecting our health really badly.
I do not believe that in ancient times a long life was accurate…I guess if 40 years was considered long….the food thing I will agree….we need to learn to eat what we buy….not throw it away in days later…..waste is killing us….chuq
