Diseases Spread by Humans, Animals and Insects 6 years, 3 months agoThere was a story in the news about a British citizen who just died from rabies. He was on vacation in Morocco and was nipped by a cat. He sought medical care but was not given the vaccine needed to prevent rabies. He died on November 4. It is very rare but still so prevalent in other countries. Please seek treatment if you are bitten, licked or…[Read more]

Right beside the LaVale Pizza Hut.
I have seen some life expectancy data by census tract, some of which is surprising. I’d love to map the fast food restaurants by census tract and see if there is any correlation with life expectancy! Anyone else interested?
I saw it is going to be next to Pizza Hut and across from Liberty Liquors.
