Maybe I can help with a story that happened to my mom just a couple of weeks ago. There was an outbreak of Whooping Cough in her town that started with an un-immunized family. Well, my mom got it, and still has never met the family that it started with. It was miserable for her. She has a nerve and spine condition called Syringomyelia and coughing causes extreme pain. I guess what I am trying to say is that my mom must have picked up the virus either at a store or else from her immunized grandkids that come to visit her home, because those are the only places she goes. Thank goodness she got over it fairly quickly with antibiotics. I guess I needed to get that off my chest.
