What is “ Acute Flaccid Myelitis “ ?

[JerryCooper]

Here are two interesting factoids.

Polioencephalomalacia
MW, 1. encephalomalacia means: softening of the brain due to degenerative changes in nervous tissue

2. In August 2012, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) was contacted by a San Francisco Bay area clinician who requested poliovirus testing for an unvaccinated man aged 29 years with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) associated with anterior myelitis (i.e., evidence of inflammation of the spinal cord involving the grey matter including anterior horn cell bodies) and no history of international travel during the month before symptom onset. Within 2 weeks,
Additional laboratory testing for infectious diseases conducted at the CDPH Viral and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory did not identify a causative agent to explain the observed clinical syndrome reported among the patients.

So, it seems AFP is not limited to just children.

The birth of a US epidemic!

Unexplained, polio-like illness has paralyzed 75 kids

An unexplained, polio-like illness has now affected 75 children across the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The first cases were reported in August in Colorado, around the same time that children began going to the emergency room with breathing problems related to enterovirus D68, according to the CDC. The CDC reports 1,116 cases of the enterovirus in 47 states and Washington, D.C. recent months, almost all in children. Twelve children with the virus have died.

The weak have to be weeded out somehow. It sounds cruel, but there's no natural drive for survival of the fittest anymore. The stupid, the weak, the weak immuned..

*maybe* I'll get concerned when 1% of the population is affected.

Everyone else, be scared, be very scared, make sure you let the .gov manage your health, chlorinate your water, give you dozens of vaccines so you will never get sick </sarcasm>

Could the nation that once fed the world now be poisoning the world?
Two Israeli children contract enterovirus-68
Both children have been discharged after coming down with virus that can cause breathing problems and paralysis, and has caused health scare in the United States.

Exactly, Health SCARE

 

[M5farm]

"Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.

There's not a great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.

Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds -- particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.

Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.

Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell"

here's what you can do so you don't get it JERRY. For you and your think tank to continue to blame an industry for making the world sick is beyond me.

your agenda is for worse than the virus.

 

[Nesikep]

I stay at home because I feel good and want to stay that way.. I get a common cold once every couple years, when I lived in the city it was every couple months.

Research by Purdue University scientist Jon Schoonmaker and his colleagues has shown that small amounts of calcium oxide can neutralize the acid in distillers grains, a commonly used alternative to corn in many livestock feed mixes.

The problem is that distillers grains retain the sulfuric acid used to control the starch fermentation during ethanol production. Since the grain is highly acidic, it is difficult for cattle to fully digest.

Health issues

Because of vigorous reaction of quicklime with water, quicklime causes severe irritation when inhaled or placed in contact with moist skin or eyes. Inhalation may cause coughing, sneezing, labored breathing. It may then evolve into burns with perforation of the nasal septum, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Although quicklime is not considered a fire hazard, its reaction with water can release enough heat to ignite combustible materials

Three more Manitobans test positive for enterovirus D 68
Nov 18, 2014

It brings the total in number of cases of enterovirus D 68 in the province to 12.
Symptoms of the virus resemble the common cold, but doctors say enterovirus D 68 seems to be sending more children to intensive care than a typical virus, particularly those with a history of asthma.
At least four children in Manitoba were infected with the virus. There are no reports of any deaths.

New Food Safety Rules Mean Big Changes

FDA must release a final preventive controls for animal feed rule by Aug. 30, 2015. Once the final rules are released, ethanol facilities that produce animal feed coproducts will have one year to become FSMA compliant. Given the detailed and potentially onerous requirements of these rules, we highly recommend that facilities take concerted steps to engage technical experts to assist with implementing CGMPs and preventative controls well before the 2016 compliance deadline.

onerous: : difficult and unpleasant to do or deal with
Full Definition of ONEROUS
1 involving, imposing, or constituting a burden :  troublesome <an onerous task>
2 having legal obligations that outweigh the advantages <an onerous contract>

Michigan: enterovirus d68 proves to be an issue in the state

This year, the Washtenaw County Department of Public Health reported two positive cases in the county. One patient is an adult with a history of asthma and the other is seven-month-old infant. The season for EV-D68 typically ends with the onset of winter.
Though Lozon and her colleagues do not know if EV-D68 causes flaccid paralysis — a symptom that characterizes polio, another enterovirus-related disease — her department saw a cluster of seven patients of various ages and from different parts of Michigan admitted with flaccid paralysis of lower and upper extremities in a period of a week and a half.
