30% mortality rate is insanely high 😮

[@christopherleubner6633]

Yup, but only in malignant cases where there is sepsis present. Sepsis on its own has a poor prognosis, typically 20 to 50 percent mortality and a 60 to 80 percent chance of lasting disability if you survive it. 😢

[@lagopusvulpuz1571]

​​@@eri7-11 Fish farms are worse. Fish are fed an unnatural diet, are in overcrowded areas & that's why they are on antibiotics. Farm raised Salmon were affecting the waters where Wild Salmon lived causing illness spread. Also the Salmon get their reddish meat coloration from their natural diet. Farm raised are a greyish color & are dyed to sell.

[@eri7-11]

@@lagopusvulpuz1571 I thought so. I ate salmon in Japan thinking it was wild like I ate in USA. I felt funny, like my brain was itchy (sounds weird) and then looked into the salmon sold in supermarkets in small cities in Japan and saw it was coming from Chile. I ever had this weird feeling when eating wildcaught in USA. Japan is an island and fish eating country so I'm surprised so much of the fish for regular people is being flown in from Chile, etc. All our food is being replace as those in power seem to want to stop the growing population from eating the world up. But these manmade farms make a product that is subpar. It is what it is.

@@mastrine14 She was bitten on her brother's couch. A brown recluse or 2, bit her. She never noticed. When she came home a few days later she showered then sat at yje table gaming eith friends. I came home from job2. When she saw me she said it feels like a brushburn on her baçk. I took one look at what I thought were cig burns. She said nope and if they had, you'd be helping me hide the body. Called dr. next day she diagnosed necrotic spider bites. No one thought of internal damage. I had ointment and bandages. Last year, 28 years later she went to ER for a headache. Intake noticed a focal seizure. Noted it on chart and put her in a room. Dr. ordered tests directed at neurological probs. As she still has a scar from one bite a neuro was called in. She shoukd have had all tissue and surrounding removed immediately. Didn't know immediately. So we got fibro, epilepsy, cluster headaches all from the toxin entering the spinal base. She turned 44 yesterday and has been seizure free for 5 months. More testing in a year.
