I have stupid old strep throat. I'd *really* like to know where I got it from. I never go anywhere! The only place I had been to this whole week was the dentist's office and I'm pretty sure they at least rinse the instruments off between patients... I heard in the news this week about a lady who got Hepatitis B from her dentist's office and they had already been following accepted sanitation procedures... scary. The only other possibility is that someone brought the germ into the house without getting it themselves... and somehow *I* got it and they didn't.
Or, it's the melamine-tainted chicken. Anybody else paranoid about this? Like, oh, a bunch of chickens have been eating PLASTIC and we went ahead and sent thousands of them to be slaughtered and brought to the local grocery to be put on your dinner table. But there's no problem. Our government tells us that it's SAFE to eat chickens with melamine. And that Agent Orange doesn't really cause medical problems. Oh, and that mercury filling thing? SAFE. So is thimerosal in your baby's shots.
Anyway.... So now I'm all germy and disgusting. I can't touch anything or dh will go, "You're getting germs all over that! Now I have to wash that..." This includes the children LOL! OK, I was pretty sick there for a while until I went to the doctor. Actually my fever was just under 102 and I'm still pretty shaky but not as feverish. I'm still sick, which is why I have an inordinate amount of time to sit here and type and shed my germs all over the keyboard...
If anyone's out there you can try to leave a comment. If I ever figure out how to do this, I'm going to "moderate" comments so I don't have Islamic jihadis or Klansmen recruiters leaving messages all the time. Or the Nigerian scam thing. You know, of all the gazillion times I hit the "report spam" button on the viagra, pornhotwebcamxxx, getwhateverdrugnow and etc. junk I get on AOL, that was the ONLY thing I got an actual letter in response to!! All right. So leave a comment if you're there. :]

Hi. I'm Heidi. I found your blog "hopping" around. I'm rather new around here, but not to the blog-community.. I haven't exactly settled in.. but I wanted to tell you that I have a step-carrier in my household! Of course, I seem to be the only one who ever gets it!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's not exactly true. *smile* My daughter was having a serious repeat issue with strep and I finally pinned it down. I was so surprised. I read an article that said strep is passed in plastic bottles that we re-use. I had always been meticulous about running them in my dishwasher, but after I tossed them all into the recycling bin.. the strep stopped! Good luck on that. I'm leaving a comment, as you requested.. but you requested it a while ago *grin*
Have a good day.. ~Heidi
Hey, Heidi, thanks for stopping by!!! I think I caught mine from church because the very next day I went out shopping, ran into someone from church. She was telling me that one of the kids in my son's class went to the EMERGENCY room not even a few hours after church with strep.
ReplyDeleteHe had no symptoms and his parents felt so bad about exposing everyone... It happens!
