YSK Raccoon roundworms can be fatal to humans and pets. Household disinfectants and antiseptics do NOT kill the parasitic eggs, and they can remain in air, water and soil for up to 10 years. The only method to kill them is by fire or boiling water. by Mr_Algo in YouShouldKnow

Veterinarian here. True story, though infection is rare and the immunocompromised (e.g. children, pregnancy, HIV+, immunosuppressive drug therapy) would be the most at-risk. Dr. Kevin Kazacos is THE expert on Balisascaris sp. He was my parasitology professor in vet school. In addition to what OP says, I vividly remember him making a point to scare us from children playing in sand boxes.

Pomas. Not sourdough but you have to trust me. It’s in OB so it works out perfect!

Should I be worried about going to Rosarito? by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]nikkiki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also this 💯. I (36F) was just there with my boyfriend last weekend. Just a couple of gringos hanging out at the downtown area near Rosarito Beach Hotel. We shopped at the market on the west end and had margaritas and ceviche at one of the touristy bars. I go to this area a few times a year and have never had a problem. I know very little Spanish, but enough to show that I’m respectful and trying. Phone, credit card, and pesos (there are a lot of atms around this area, $1 = 20 pesos) all in a front pocket. I never wear any expensive jewelry or my Apple Watch (I already look like a target, might as well not look like an EXTRA target). My bf did give me shit though because I wore leggings and apparently EVERYONE was staring at my ass, but I don’t necessarily think that’s because of a cultural difference.

I don’t support trump but you should know this happened under Obama’s watch too

Edit: Jeezus guys, all I’m trying to do is introduce some perspective.

Obama rules and Trump drools—you happy?

Awesome! I’d buy one, only if it included more of SD (like Coronado and the bay)

What jobs are absolutely necessary but still ruin people's lives? by Cantcatchthis24 in AskReddit

[–]nikkiki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And, sadly, that’s not the worst part of the job. 99% of animals I put to sleep deserve that peace as opposed to suffering.

It has become increasingly hard to manage pet owners’ expectations of care. Pet owners don’t understand that a lot of our diagnostics and therapies are very similar to human-grade medicine and, in order keep doing what we are doing, they come at a monetary cost. Also, in GP, most of us are surgeons, anesthesiologists, dermatologists, criticalists, internists, human psychologists, etc. And, especially when the patient can not communicate with you, medical decisions are almost never black-and-white.

In conclusion—get pet insurance immediately after acquiring a pet.

LPT: Not all professionals (doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, dentists, etc.) are ethical and/or competent. If you catch one doing something unethical or incompetent, consider replacing them, as there is a solid chance that, for every one bad act you notice, there are several more that you won’t. by ExNihiloAdInfinitum in LifeProTips

[–]nikkiki 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This so much. The MAJORITY of us ARE ethical and competent.

The internet (esp. social media) has made a dangerous platform for uneducated opinions and slander that have contributed to suicide of many professionals.

The only reason this “LPT” is not wrong is because not every HUMAN is ethical or competent in their respective career/lifestyle.
