Nah, we're always seeing rare diseaes in Dallas that we thought were stomped out. Usually they come from unvaccinated populations where they are endemic, i.e. Mexico. I've seen diptheria, tetanus, typhoid fever, and amoebic dysentary in Mexican nationals. A frend of mine has seen dengue fever and anthrax.

Well, according to a book I read, rabies and bubonic plague only tend to kill 1-5 people in the US each year, usually people in the boonies. But it is kinda frightnin' to hear. Hope he's ok. :(

Mack took the words outta my mouth, lol.

Attalus 11-07-2002 10:36 PM

LOL, that's why they call them "rare diseases." Ms. Dragonmage, ma'am, you wouldn't know from Beri-beri and tetanus in Gaw-jah, wood-ya? CDC says six cases of both, last year. ;)
