One of the unfortunate side effects of AIDS was that many people stopped volunteering to give blood because they had heard that it could be transmitted from needles. AIDS-Needles, two words were all that it took for thousands to conclude that they could get AIDS from any type of needle…no need to look any further.

I was reading this morning about the emerging potential swine flu pandemic coming out of Mexico. I’m going to have to ask my friends in the pork industry whether or not they see a decline in pork consumption over the next few weeks. I predict there will be a drop…..Swine-Flu…must be possible to get it from eating pigs, no?
