[QUOTE="Star*, post: 366934, member: 4964"] I got the tetanus from the nail...(lol) NOT the immigrants. I was at the thrift store and trying to get a very old print out of an 81 year old frame. I think I wrote the info. wrong. But she did tell me that the whooping cough was on the rise and since our community has had a serious influx of immigrants they have also seen whooping cough headed to near epidemic proportions in the past few years. We don't just have hispanics here in Columbia. We're so close to a port city, Charleston and have many mosques that we have an ever increasing population of Afghanistanny, Iranian, Kenyan, West Indian, Arab, UAE, Urudu I mean it's a melting pot here so I don't think she was referring to just one group - she's really not like that. Currently California DOH is reporting an epidemic of Whooping Cough. I checked the CDC web site and they have not reported it, so I'm not sure who you believe. I just know that if I want a job here in South Carolina? If I spoke 15 languages - English, Spanish, Farsi, Arabic, Turkish...Punjab, Swahili? I'd have a job like (snaps fingers) ---as it is I can't even get an interview as a bookkeeper in a grocery store because I don't speak English. So I'm not so sure that she doesn't have a point about being exposed to a lot of different kinds of germs that I don't have a tolerance built up for yet because I was never exposed to.
