Please, find it in your heart to forgive me, if your life has been shattered from the Dread Diseases, we have been warned about. I have been fortunate, enough, never to have seen, or know anyone, who died of the dreaded diseases we read about, in the media. If you have had someone, close to you die of such a disease, I hope this question does not hurt you further. Thank You

You don't suppose she's asking about E coli, do you?

Shucks, I forgot the question, Has anybody actually known of anyone who contacted and died of the media "Dreaded Diseases?"

With just 11 days left, this board is sure bringing out the Whack Jobs!

Well, no but there is plentiful information on diseases like these and how truly scary they are. Remember that if these are used for biological warfare then there is a strong likelihood that they have been doctored and made new and improved. This makes the previous experience possiblity less relivant. Since I hold no medical degree this is strictly IMHO. Worry about things you can control and let others worry about the rest.

Thank you Squid. I have just been "pondering" about other lies and such. Heaven's Speed.

Nope. I have not died from any of them yet. E. coli is very common, and most times people never know they had it. The problem is there are a few strains that are very bad taht are resistant to antibiotics due to some many antibiotics being feed to livestock. If you do not want to get infected by a strain that is resistant to antibiotics, then do not eat meat from animals that have ever been given antibiotics. Very simple to prevent.
