They have been thinking there is a link to GBS for a while.  Been bringing out a lot of Education on GBS.  One thing that came out: they now believe FDR did not have adult onset of Polio but actually had GBS...not that it matters now, but interesting.

I was at a pest control conference today, and when talking about mosquitoes, they said that bats eat very little (quantity, not size) mosquitoes >1%.  Same with birds.  🙁

ET, I always was under the impression bats were awesome at controlling mosquitos.  That is just what I had heard though.  I never heard from a real pest control person though.  Good to know from an expert...I have built my 2 bat houses, I will put them up still.  It will be my goodwill gesture to the woods and swamp at the farm.

I was always under the same impression.  It was surprising when I heard it.  Guess you can't go wrong by doing it.  Hell, I was going to make a push for my Boy Scout troop to make a ton of bird and bat houses as a fundraiser.

CDC is reporting there have two abortions so far due to ZIKA

At least two pregnant women in the United States infected with the Zika virus have chosen to have abortions in recent months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday, while two others have suffered miscarriages. One woman gave birth to an infant with serious birth defects, while two others delivered healthy infants. Two are still pregnant.
