new virus and cranberries

Today I learned that there are some parts of the South that have mosquitoes all year, so if somebody brings Chikungunya there from in and around India, where it's mosquito season now, we'll be stuck with it here, too. So, we're all gonna die, etc., etc., except for that thing where it's not all that fatal usually, but the article said it's a up and coming disease, so you never know.

In case you were curious about how to kill the virus, here's a helpful hint from the Public Health Agency of Canada:

PHYSICAL INACTIVATION: Inactivated by moist, dry heat > 58 ^oC; Sensitive to drying

In other news, you can eat whole cranberries without putting sugar all over them or anything. You just shouldn't have sensitive teeth if you want to do it very much.
