11:44 am
Trifioso
I had to get a typhoid vaccine once, before a missionary trip = can NOT recommend. If that's tiny typhoid, I NEVER want the full illness
11:44 am
HarryHood
too bad your name isn't mary
11:45 am
Trifioso
that poor lady - I don't know HOW she functioned with typhoid
11:45 am
SamanthaJoy
A significant percentage of people who get the rabies vaccination actually get symptoms. Now THAT is something I never want to have to experience.
11:46 am
Trifioso
oooh a sign! My daughter is on her way here for a visit, and her name is in the grid!!!
11:46 am
SamanthaJoy
She was asymptomatic.
11:46 am
HarryHood
we had a bat in our house in CT, and I brought it in for testing - if it hadn't been negative they would have vaccinated us.
11:46 am
Trifioso
I just cannot imagine how she could have been. Harry, did they give you a sense of how long you may be feeling poorly?
11:46 am
SamanthaJoy
And she refused to believe that she was spreading it. That's why she was imprisoned at the end.
11:47 am
HarryHood
but after the 4th or 5th bat we just forgot about it.
11:47 am
HarryHood
just a couple days trif.
11:47 am
