The symptoms to look out for are fever, rash, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, general GI symptoms and a crusty nasty looking area around the bite. Not all of these symptoms may be present but if you were bitten by a chigger in North Carolina and you don’t feel well, go to the doctor. Antibiotics can clear it right up but if left untreated, the fatality rate can be 40% for some strains.
Here’s a map of the places tested and the places where chiggers were found to be infected:
(Also, because I saw this in the notes, typhoid and typhus are radically different diseases. Typhoid is caused by salmonella and usually transferred through contaminated food and water while typhus is caused by several different bacteria and typically transferred by insect bite.)
if i google gluten free recipes. i want gluten free recipes. not vegetarian nonsense
i was outta eggs one day and wanted a chocolate cake so i looked up eggless chocolate cakes and they were all like weird health conscious blogs and crap and not just like a sane person who was once in the same situation as me :/
looking online for recipes can be like wading through sewage to find a nugget of gold
this website’s moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants
Has anyone else noticed that as a society, we’re shamed for wanting to sleep? Sleeping in is bad, naps are only okay if they’re 20 minutes, you cant be tired unless you’re a <insert career/lifestyle choice here>, so on and so forth.
I mean, I think we all need to spread our blankets out, cuddle a pillow, and go to sleep. Everyone needs more of it, fuck this “it’s not productive” nonsense. It’s okay to sleep, it’s okay to want to sleep. You’re not lazy because of it.
Can we also stop with the one-upping about sleep. If someone tells you they’re tired because they only got six hours of sleep, please don’t immediately say “Oh that’s nothing! I only sleep three hours a night!”. Or “you don’t even know what tiredness is until you’ve done xyz thing!”
Just stop. We should all feel totally comfortable getting the amount of sleep we need. Be it four hours or 11.
Also, people who need 10 or 11 hours of sleep, or 12 or 14, do not need to do “extra” work in order to “earn” their sleep. Some people have less time and energy in their day to utilize. That is okay. Not a failure.
I need a lot of sleep. Part of it’s just who I am , part of it’s my disability. I get so many snotty comments about needing to sleep in longer when it’s not a moral issue, just a natural part of human variation.
I can’t say enough about the sickness of a society that shames people for wanting food and sleep.
Okay, here’s an interesting question. What hobbies do you guys have that wouldn’t be apparent from your online presence? Like something you spend a lot of time doing or thinking about beyond whatever you post on your blog.
no offense to anyone personally but I think we are way too used to and comfortable with weekly releases and if that wasn’t already bad enough, it seems like most of you aren’t even patient enough to wait for the official release date my point is this industry moves way too quickly
The way that people treat with the medium of manga is interesting and sad because a lot of mangaka are disabled and becoming disabled because of the intense workload. The grace extended to legendary author-artists like Togashi should be how all these artists are treated, and more. Your favorite artists are destroying themselves to create the pages you consume and make judgments on and they deserve to take the time their bodies need to recover from these efforts. The weekly release schedule is literally hurting artists.
