Ebola Support Group
Ebola is a virus of the Filoviridae family which causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever, a fatal disease in humans. Symptoms are varied and often appear suddenly. Initial symptoms include: high fever, severe headache, muscle/joint/abdominal pain, severe weakness and exhaustion, sore throat, nausea, and dizziness.
Just saw this support group, and got a chuckle at first. Saw how much fun members were having with this, and I'm glad you guys got a good laugh, who needed it.
But now I gotta put my two cents in, having studied in depth about extinction level events. Sorry, guys. I used to be a teacher and babysitter. You're gonna either like the facts I can provide, or you can not read my posts. This is for any family members who have survived losing someone to Ebola. Ebola outbreaks happen every year, and the CDC calls them "ELE's" or "Extinction Level Events". They are code red, and a real life threat to all life on earth if not understood. So I'm kind of taking it upon myself to share what I know. But you don't want to hear from me, so I'll post a link. Read it, or don't.
This is for anyone who happens upon Daily Strength who used to live in a remote part of the world victimized by Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever. Just in case we get a family member of a victim. You aren't alone. Feel free to send me an email. No jokes please. Just trying to do my good citizen duty.

Big fan of "The more you know" commercials on NBC when I was little. Sorry!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
