I saw this movie. The Plague Dogs. Great movie that I definitely will only watch once.
By the author of Watership Down. That ending…
had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions “The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics.”
The article here also mentions “two people caught it this year from dogs”
…oh. oh dear
Is reproductive liquid what I think it is? You know what, I want to live my life without knowing this.
reading further, after the knee-jerk:
- “Of the two cases so far this year, one was in a person who tested positive after being admitted to hospital and the other was an asymptomatic staff member of a veterinary practice.”
- “Only one named individual has previously tested positive – Wendy Hayes, of Stoke, who caught it from a pregnant foster dog she took in from Belarus last year.”
half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored
This is what leaving the EU does to a country.
Think the next time you’re voting.
Sir, this is the internet. Any time the UK is mentioned, Brexit MUST be brought up. And 100% of bad things that happen in the UK are due to Brexit.
I know now why I’m a cat person
yes sir! when I wanna be killed than it’s because of a freaking parasite and the reason I’m attracted to the piss of my cat!
which very well could be a reason our ancestors where killed by bigger cats back in the old days, because that parasite altered their brain in some ways so they felt attracted to the smell of the cats just like mice nowadays do.
At least “crazy cat person” has an excuse. When I want to run naked through the woods with the pack, it’s just because I’m weird… apparently.
