Spreading the virus?

[jakish]

I was mowing the grass the other day and stubbed my toe and it started to bleed are the ants going to give the dreaded virus to the kids on the block? Well the answer of course is no!!

I understand people have sx when there on treatment, but I read a post the other day about not being able to swallow post tx then some one replied that they couldnt swallow two days after there first shot, Is it possible to bring these symptoms on ourselves? Honestly during this tx I never even worried about a thing and never knew of this website until post tx, it seemed the more I read the more worried I got,When I see comments like should I make my funeral arrangements? "I just want crawl into a dark hole" Things like that do not help people that are recently dx and alot of the stats I have read on the majority of the symtoms I see here are rare but it seem 90% of the people have them, Don't get me wrong this site has been very informative in small doses, Too much of a good thing can also be harmful.

Obviously the ants are very lucky to have you around as many ant professionals withhold "rescue" treatment too long with ant-related anemia which often results in either dose reduction, complete cessation of treatment or most alarming of all, loss of their picnic privileges. BTW I was not referring to you at all in the last post as I understand you're new to this particular topic and I must say your sense of humor is well appreciated here and hope you stick around if that's your fancy.

First of all I can tell my knowledge of this subject does not hold a candle to yours, Please take that as a compliment, I have read many of your post in the past, so keep us informed.

Well the ants are back and they have ordered an oxygen tent due to shortness of breath.
