Your right Southern Bell, the pesticides will not only harm the environnment, ground water, etc., but could possibly cause this virus to mutate. Yes, I have heard that the birds and some animals are dropping all over the place. If you see one, don't touch it, call the public health and let them remove it.
I have suggested to all my family members to take 1 ounce, 3x a day for adults, children under 12, half that dose. I have also told them if they get a bug bite of any kind to make a paste of CS/MSM/Oil of Oregano, and immediately put it on the bite. This will draw out the infection of any kind of bug bite, and neutralize the poison. My two daughters will not go out to play until they have been coated with our ESM oil, bugs don't like it, plus its great for their skin.
