There is not much to say about this really, except that just when the local media decided it might have been a tad heavy-handed with the swine flu, it was deemed prudent to sound the alarm to New Yorkers about raccoon roundworm. A disease, I might add, that occurs when people, in these cases children, come into contact with raccoon feces. Now, there are many potential hazards associated with raising children in the city: asthma, strollers on the subway, finding a decent public school, etc. Brooklyn children playing catch with raccoon feces does not seem like something we should be adding to the list. I will give the Daily News a pass if it was a one time story. Any flagrant follow-ups by any of the aforementioned organizations will garner a big wag of the finger by me. That goes for you too MSNBC.

Just when you thought it was safe...
to remove your surgical mask, this is what I heard at the top of hour during the morning commute on more than a few radio stations -- 1010WINS and 77WABC among them: NEW YORK CITY TEEN BLINDED AND BABY BRAIN DEAD FROM RACCOON ROUNDWORM. I think the Daily News broke the story.
