Title: I've got West Nile
Post by: spahappy on August 16, 2006, 03:52:24 pm

I've been down with flue like symptoms since last Saturday. Even had to take several days off work. I went to the Dr. today and she told me it looks like a milder form of West Nile Virus. :-?

I didn't do the blood work because it's expensive and takes days for results and there is nothing they can give you to treat it, it just has to run it's course I guess.

I feel like crap :P :P :P :'(

These gals have it, too.

Did you get it from a bug bite?  Make a poultice out of chewing tobacco and Tobasco sauce and put it on the bite.  Try to get some fur off a freshly killed possum and line your sick bed with it to ward off the nematodes in the night.  Sing the last 3 lines of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" in a soft whisper right as the sun sets tonight and I guarantee you'll feel better some day.  I hope it's sooner than later but definitely sometime.

Your friend,

And stay away from the hospital.  More people die there than they do at the shooting range.
