Rabies vacs vs. waiver?

[Munchkin03]

You'd probably be better off buying stuff from a small organic grocery (which would be a lot more upfront about the origins of the food) than Whole Paycheck, which I'm realizing is just a crunchy granola supermarket for the BoBo set. I'm just saying...

That was part of my fear of getting the vaccination, if it was still in the abdomen it's a rather large needle.

Wow, that sounds WAY more painful to me. I'd be more scared about that.

None of the vet techs or vets I know have gotten the vaccine. None of my family or our employees have gotten it either. The vets have told is that it doesn't really make sense to get it unless it is needed.

This is an emergency clinic though, and apparently there have been problems in the past, so this is to protect the clinic as much as me.

I have a phobia with needles. I can deal with injecting/withdrawing from the animals, but the second I see a needle near a human, especially me, I freak. The physical pain of the airgun is less to me than the emotional pain of the needle.

Just food for thought: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract

Remember that a greater chance of autism may be caused by expsoure to mercury, and that there are multiple routes of exposure.

One thing I remember reading a long time ago suggested that mothers with more mercury fillings were more likely to children with autism than mothers with less mercury fillings.

Keep in mind that thinking about health can be complex. For example, strep bacteria causes strep throat . . .

But what if the strep bacteria grew out of hand because you took product X that lowered your immune system. What caused the strep throat? The bacteria or the product x? Or both?
