I put this in m5 thread first then decided that wasn't right. That is for his support but wanted to get this out here as a lot of us have had flooding recently and this is something that if it happens to you your Dr. will not likely be aware of.
. An FYI for all those with cattle in flood areas. I have found myself in an interesting situation of battling leptosporosis. People apparently can get it from mud and flood water around cattle ground. Had a big rain here a few weeks ago and I got out in my pond to do some repairs,never thought about it. Fast forward to this week all the sudden unexplained 100+ degree fever. No other symptoms. My 3rd day now of fever and sweats hoping antibiotics kick in soon but this stuff is no joke. Can take a month or so to incubate. Luckily my wife is a physician and part bulldog or I would not have diagnosis or treatment. This stuff gets bad in a hurry. Wanted all to know stay safe and sometimes danger stays longer than you think.
