Fascinating. Figuring that illness out is a constant battle. I could eat pork loin, but pork brats or sausage gave me some of the worst reactions I ever had. I just wish it had been discovered earlier. I picked up the illness in 1991, and doctors said I was crazy when I told them I was allergic to beef. Illness wasn't discovered until around 2007. The test for it didn't come out until 2010. By then, I was over it.
If you're like most sufferers, it will fade with time. Avoiding reactions is the key to getting over it faster. I contracted it in 1991 and it wasn't until 2010-12 that I first started trying small amounts of beef to see if I was fully over it (after probably 15 years of being careful and not having a reaction). 20 years later, I was able to eat the beef without reaction, but what my body wasn't ready for was digesting beef! It takes certain gut bacteria, and I had lost them over time. Really took a while before I could regain those gut bacteria.
Do some research on Chlorine Dioxide. It's known to remove even deeply buried Lyme Disease.
Yes, but that's why we all do (or certainly should) review the handbook every season and then check the pertinent parts every time we go to a county we have not hunted since last season.
And "That's why we can't have nice things."
What is the "MCD incident"? I've followed CWD pretty closely over the years but that acronym is not ringing a bell.
Mad Cow Disease I assume
I've read the handbook and it can be a little confusing. But really, all that matters is what applies to my two counties - that is not so complicated at all.
MCD was supposed to be short for Mad Cow Disease. Not related, but after those folks caught MCD in Europe in the 90's the CDC and pretty much all the "Health" organizations and "disease control" organizations, decided that since it was assumed that MCD couldn't spread from cow to human and it did, that now CWD is a possibility.
