Another One?

Yes, it is another post about food. How obsessed can one person get? Really, though, you never know how much you have until it's gone, and then you miss it! So, everyone out there in the US, enjoy your fast food and easily got commodities! :)

Our commissary got a dry goods shipment in last week. So, I went in today for a little shopping. Oh, I got A&W ROOT BEER AND CREAM SODA!!!! CHEETOS!!! CHIPS AHOY COOKIES!!! FRITOS!!! Now, honestly, these are things that I didn't buy on a regular basis even when I lived in the states and they were there all the time. Maybe it was because I do know that the stuff really is quite nasty...but also that it was always THERE. Things are always more dear to us when we can't get them anymore, right??

We got to take Andrew and Claire in to the health unit today...we think Claire has mango worms. Here's a little interesting info on the mango worm:

Hanging your clothes outside to dry in areas of high tropical rainfall can be risky if they are not ironed properly. Mango flies or myiatic flies are common in these areas, especially during the hot and humid summers.

If clothes are hung outside, it is possible for a female fly to lay eggs on them, especially when the clothes were contaminated with urine or faeces. The clothes are then worn and the eggs penetrate the skin. People will usually complain that their body is itching and within three days, painful, boil-like lesions occur. Over the next three days, pus emerges from each sore as it gets ripe. Once the sore is expressed a worm comes out of it.

The fly is found widely in large parts of northern South Africa, as well as large parts of Africa. Dogs and rodents are usually the hosts, but humans often become accidental hosts.

Gross, eh? Yah, they're pretty nasty. But, she's ok. And she got a sucker out of the whole thing, so it was all good.

Tomorrow I get to have my very first ultrasound. Should be interesting! I'll update again soon! :)
