You could eat raw fish on the Shogun times and it was OK! Now, seas are highly polluted and eating raw fish can kill you!

[SA-rhyx]

Stop eating raw salmon or other sea foods

What I'm in Japan, my Japanese hubby said there was only a little talk on our news of a virus for kids. I keep seeing all these videos made by foreigners on the same narrative of scaring people.

My daughter, at 44, is still fighting brown recluse toxin. It was injected into her spine. Caused Hashimotos, caused epilepsy. It's scary what is in Japan.

[hundun]

A weakened immuunsysteem probably has something to do with it?!

[sinslayer]

This isn't new, I just surprised me that someone just suddenly spread this bacteria to the public.

[Badkittys]

Interesting! How long before it reaches Monticito i wonder?

[cynthiagonzalez]

Isn't that the same bacteria that causes toxic shock syndrome ⁉️
