If you are looking for them on the border, you are much too late. Try any elementary school or walmart. Public schools naturally, the private schools are off limits.

As I said 400 cases of Enterovirus in 35 years. 700 cases this year. Pretty funny till it is your kid.

Since it's part of the polio family, the article said that polio would come and go, some years having large outbreaks and other small.

Hepatitis B is an STD or needle/bloodborne. So unless you and I have different definitions of "eating out" it is not possible to get Hep B this way.

I think you meant Hepatitis A, which can be food-borne.

Hepatitis A it is, unless of course, you are a vampire.

I'm fully confident the CDC's "cursor exam" on board an aircraft at JFK of a dead male on a inbound flight from Nigeria confirms that the dead passenger didn't have Ebola.(Insert sarcasm)

Ebola ruled out as passenger dies on Nigeria flight to JFK | New York Post

Fixed it
Sad thing is that these diseases can be directed related to both legal and illegal immigration.

Like someone said. It's a non issue until its your kid/wife/husband/mother/father.

People in the U.S. need to spend a semester in 3rd world countries to really grasp the real life concept of how preventative health care is almost non existent in these countries.

Global travel is just a parasitic carrier.
