Hi All,
Since giving blood & donating organs was a recent topic here, I thought some might want to take a look at this article;

Hi Traveler,

Thank you for posting this link. I am encouraged to know that a mainstream organization has finally recognised this issue. I hope the rest of "mainstream" does the same.

Best wishes, bablymers mom

Isn't it just wonderful how instead of just testing the blood for these things and if it is infected, not give it to someone...they instead see if it is in there and then track it to see if it makes people sick? We are their guinea pigs.

Yikes, 12 of 70 people died from babesia? Sorry to focus on that one fact; I know it isn't the purpose of the article. But being newly diagnosed, it's pretty disturbing to read that.
