Guest Frank Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 What is going on of late?? Their seems to be more and more of these strange bugs, viruses, that seem to be on the incease? Some say the viruses are mutating, others, say its the influx of europeans ect, that are bringing these bugs ect in?? Was talking to a lad the other day and his 6 year old sister was in hospital over the xmas, seriouse vomiting ect, they put it down to a bad virus??? You hear folks with the most leathel colds, flus, that knock them off their feet. Could be that they are all mutating, getting stronger, as the population is on the increase?? Very strange and not welcomed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gin 503 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I blame the over-use of antibiotics, they are less effective now against the usual bugs and viruses,- which are mutating because of the over-use. I don't take anything if i can help it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Frank Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Good point Gin, makes sence, i never thought of that one. Yes, their does seem to be a lot of antibiotics being used. Doctors over here, are dishing them out like sweets, not all doctors, but most!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Its a nightmare Frank!! a few weeks back one of the kids cane home from school with sickness and the shits, within days the other one got it and finally it ended up going through the household! it was totaly uncontolable and not like the usual sickness bugs, I was throwing up continuousely for near on 36 hours with projectile vomit , My youngest got seriously dehydrated but with plenty of fluids she came good. I blame alot to the over use of Antibiotics but alot comes in with Imigrants!, our Doctors surgery waiting room is full of them. we arradacted TB in this country for years and now its back again! we can't blame antibiotics for that one , normally when we have a good frost it helps clear the air but not this time! everyone around us is going down with something or other ....

My brother is a classic example , he has 2 daughters 5 & 8 they are constantly washing there hands, we went to there house yesterday afternoon & stayed for tea , his Mrs was even checking the temp of stuff coming out the oven to see if it was cooked enough I remember a few yrs back cooking a turkey with the plastic bag in it full of giblets , we still ate it & survived Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very strange and not welcomed? Hi Frank, The wee girl is back home. She had "Adenovirus". She will finally be able to celebrate Xmas. I think the increase human traffic and population densities of different cities, has caused viruses to become stronger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Frank Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thats great S that she is back home. I hope you can all enjoy your Christmas now, poor lass. Central heating, yes, it really fecks up the system, drying out the nose ect, where neturualy, the mucus, would defend viruses getting in, that and over washing, like kay says, is adding to this ever increasing problem.

I don't take anything if i can help it. Spot on mate. The same as the modern obsetion with being so clean and germ free. Thats why there are more alergies about these days. When I was young, you hardly ever heard of anyone being alergic to anything, one or two people had asthma or something, but nothing like it is now. Either that, or because of modern medicine, it's no longer 'survival of the fittest', and sick people are surviving more and passing weaker genes, with less natural resistance to their offspring.

That'll be a Large Jamesons then? Over washing? Never been a problem with me. Bar of soap lasts me a year and more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
