Thats all we need is another weird virus out of China to screw up the economy.  We are just now recovering from SARS.  They spread that bug all through SE Asia and part of Canada before it was contained.

What if you get a n allergic reaction to triple antibiotic ontiment?
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

what I've read about china is their "FDA" equivilant isn't too strict or non-existant.

People living too close to too many animals breeds disease.

Almost all human infectious diseases were originally animal diseases that mutated to infect people: smallpox, measles, influenza, AIDS, etc. East Asia has a large market in wild animals used for food. Because there is minimal effective regulation of this market, you have live animals moved all over the place and then congregated with other animals and people. You’re just asking for trouble.

In that case, I dont' think I'd use it.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
