    Here we go again. “Scientists” creating health links to climate change.

    The Vibrio species naturally lives in salt or brackish water. Obviously, the water warms up during the spring and summer months making the likelihood of getting this bacteria a lot easier.

    Maybe, just maybe, the increase in cases is because people are consuming more raw fish (sushi consumption has increased at least 28% in the US alone from 2010-2014). I was always advised to never eat raw oysters in months that don’t have an “R” (May, June, July, August). I was just in a restaurant that was serving them in the heat of July.

    There is nothing in this article saying whether the study identified the time period in which these increases took place or how much was attributed to food consumption. They did mention that swimming related cases were up in Europe during heat waves (WOW…who would have thought that people might be swimming more during heat waves???).

    Let’s not also lightly pass by the statement “But most cases aren’t confirmed by tests and reported.” So, once again, the “scientists” are drawing conclusions on a guessed diagnosis. This sounds too much like the “estimated temperatures assigned to areas based on averages of other areas”.

    Obama and HilLIARy will be out there soon saying we won’t be able to go to the beach because of climate change.

      integrity, go to Rio and have some of their offerings straight from the river. If the food born illnesses don’t get you, the Zika virus will.

        How many people attending or participating in the Rio Olympics have contracted a food-born illness or the Zika virus? Zero.

          Thank goodness the athletes and fans are heeding the warnings and there hasn’t been any cases yet. The conservative right wingers are making this risk up and the leftists can’t blame it on Bush.

          I think they could still try to blame it on climate change, though.

    Agent, pretty soon, we could start seeing some of the following headlines:

    “Deodorant use is increasing and scientists are linking it to climate change.”

    “Research shows extreme heat in the desert is impacting plant growth and scientists believe it is caused by climate change.”

    “HilLIARy Clinton wants to earmark billions of dollars for climate change research; wants to appoint Clinton Foundation to oversee funds.”

      Good one integrity. The trolls downvoted you twice on that one. They take idiocy to a new level. I think the Clinton’s loaned one of their hit men to defend the DNC. Two dead so far. One guy killed while walking at 4:00 AM????????? They were about to meet with the FBI on the DNC corruption case. Does Debbie Wasserman have her own hit man paid with DNC funds?

        Agent,

        It’s obvious that HilLIARy, Wantstobeaman-Schultz and the DNC are quickly trying to tie up lose ends to avoid losing the election and going to jail. I bet there will soon be a major computer malfunction at the DNC where “hackers” toasted their hard drives.

      integrity, I can see the presses of the EPA churning out thousands of pages of new regulations to “regulate” every aspect of our lives. Those Progressive bureaucrats do it to justify their existence and follow the orders from their master Czars in the basement. Won’t it be nice to be rid of them in a few short months and firing the head of the EPA which should have happened long ago?

        Agent, I really hope so. My concern is that the democrats have already figured out how to rig the election. That is why we are getting these bogus poll reports of double digit leads. They are already building their case to minimize any impropriety.

          integrity, think George Soros had anything to do with the bogus polls projecting Hilliary way ahead? I don’t pay any attention to them at all anymore because they are as corrupt as the government. The same polls had Trump losing many of the primaries that he ended up winning. Democrats and their minions in the press are trying to have a coup in this country. This is the nastiest election I have seen in my lifetime. Progressive Democrats and RINO’s are the worst.
