I have an MRI booked for October. They found a nodule on my liver about 6 years ago. It wasn't cancer but they weren't real sure what it was so I get an ultrasound every 2 years to make sure it hasn't grown. My doctor retired and the new one wants to make sure, my blood test might have shown something because they booked the MRI. We had a dog for 16 1/2 years who liked to eat gophers, squirrels etc.
I reckon the stress caused by 4 years of NDP could weaken an immune system enough .

I shouldn't blame the dog. My research shows that you can get it from one of my favorite pastimes while hunting, picking and eating berries (without washing them). Blueberries maybe, or even the strawberries in the garden perhaps.

Wouldn’t it be most likely you picked it up handling coyotes dugh?

If you do have it that is.

I hope your mri shows no cause for concern.

We're pretty careful, especially with coyotes. The first thing the specialist asked was do we have a dog. Her favorite thing was catching and eating gophers and any squirrels we shot around the cabin.

They have had this south of border for ever without mass infections in humans. Wear gloves, keep your hands away from your face. Take your gloves off to smoke, drink.

Should be no problem.
