This article hit different for me.. It had a weird font so at the beginning I thought it said... "I spent the days just prior to my 80th birthday sick with shigellosis"

Articles like this are a nice reminder of just how wonderful life is in America, and just how far civilization has to fall if shit REALLY hits the fan someday. If you need a reason to be grateful in spite of mundane crap like housing costs and white collar jobs, the developing world offers some lessons in humility and gratitude.

Since dogs are everywhere and very few people get sick from them, the risks seem to be quite low.
