    I nearly forgot to mention what “question number 2″ is until I was making a mental note of when to take my Typhoid vaccine again… “What kind of shots do you need?” I don’t believe anyone asks this question when you take a trip to Cancun or France however every single person has asked me this question. So, here is the low down. Let me say, I am not a physician and this is not medical advice.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about mosquitoes recently. I came home from a ride in early March to discover that one had bitten me just beside my temple and that seemed rather early in the year to be getting a mosquito bite.

McNeill argues that malaria and yellow fever had a profound impact on preserving the dominance of the Spanish Empire; in effect, the mosquito was a chief…
