Hey, the first patient that I used these on didn't die....<br /><br />Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.* was in danger of losing his license to practice medicine and faced public ridicule at one point - because he thought that washing his hands before surgery was a good idea....<br /><br />For something really scary... look at how many people were killed by consumptive tuberculosis spread by milk, before Louis Pasteur invented his process.<br /><br />For that matter... and I think that you will like this - look up the Rhode Island Vampire Epidemic of the late 19th Century - folks dug up the graves of some of the victims of consumption, and drove stakes through their hearts. (The last vampire execution in the United States was that of Mercy Brown of Exeter Rhode Island - in 1892.)<br /><br />The Auld Grump<br /><br />*Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. - Poet, lecturer, physician....TheAuldGrumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793032029965169591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-71218067840301104742013-09-19T14:41:47.184+01:002013-09-19T14:41:47.184+01:00Holy crap, Grump, that's seriously scary stuff...Holy crap, Grump, that's seriously scary stuff!

Long story short, I had most of my colon removed, but it never became toxic as far as I remember.
