Ternaugh Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I remember those from my childhood in Central Florida. They were the ones that we were told not to play with (but of course, that's only a challenge for a kid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 The expression "guts" for the ability to overcome fear may be ... in fact correct. Quote Gut microbes control fear in mice Chemicals released by bacteria in the gut seem to influence how mice recover from fear — an ability linked to chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mice that were trained that a certain sound meant a painful shock were able to forget the association after some time with a painless version of the tone. But mice treated with antibiotics to wipe out the microbiome were never able to get over the learned fear. When researchers looked closer, the bacteria-free mice had changes to their brains and different chemicals flooding their bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas hunter dies after deer he shot got back up and attacked him, officials say I feel like that guy had been hunting for so long that he forgot that deer are actually quite dangerous. He was using a muzzle loader. Not exactly great if you need a 2nd shot in under a minute. Tragic ending for the guy, but at 66 you have to take some precautions.

Desperation procedures IMO; they already have cases in the country and have culled 150,000 livestock pigs in attempts to prevent the disease from sweeping across the country.
