I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested.

I got curious about how the donor got scratched by the skunk, but instead only found this article from August, which informed me that the U.S. has a rabies outbreak, and has more deaths from rabies in the last year than several previous years...

Not sure if people were already talking about this outbreak, and I just missed it? It's been a bit of a weird year, and there's been a lot of crazy shit to keep up with.

Anyway, this is also how I ended up reading the sentence informing me some people are worried dogs are getting autism from vaccines.

Outbreaks of rabies seem to be rising across the U.S., CDC surveillance shows

I know you're joking but I always gotta espouse the honors of that fucking element. In it's purest form can rapidly oxidize fuck all anything! And yet helps form a crystalline structure in our enamel!

The reason we started putting fluoride in tap water is that dentists noticed people drinking well water had abnormally strong teeth because the rocks were leeching it into the water. This had the unfortunate side effect of turning their teeth brown. So some scientists and health experts found the lowest concentration that would super charge our enamel and not turn our teeth brown.

Fluoride is fucking awesome!

I havent used flouride toothpaste in 15 years and I have really good teeth. I know its sample of one and all that, but I stand by my decision to not use it. Works well for me.
