Re: I've seen the bite report...
I also wanted to add this; I don't agree totally with Phillip, but I'm kind of middle of the road. A lot of people do exaggerate misfortune; I see it every day when someone complains about a pizza or their service. I am not one of those people, and probably, had I suffered the symptoms from the bite report, would not have seen a doctor unless I had heart irregularities, chest pain or difficulty breathing. Excessive vomiting would probably enter that, as well. Other than that, I tend to grin and bear it. I tend to feel like if it didn't threaten my life, it isn't worth worrying about. Something to be avoided yes, and a lesson learned, but nothing to get panicky about.
This is a difficult thread for me because I fall in the middle and am trying to toe that line, and am finding difficulty doing so, in terms of proper phrasing. Ah well.
