I can't take any chances so I do what I gotta'do ? haha<br />I have never heard of rabbit fever ... and YES !!! every thing is in such delicate balance that one cog out of the wheel truly affects the whole wheel .. that is so sad about the foxes .. a terrible way to die.<br />Lets hope next year mother nature can get a grip and get things a little more in balance.<br />Take care girl !<br />CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-65204423224888477722015-10-22T20:27:09.159-04:002015-10-22T20:27:09.159-04:00omg, I'm so sorry to hear this Joy.

I totally forget gardening can be "dangerous" to our health. Although I was reminded this summer when there was an outbreak of Tularemia(I think I spelled that right??) or Rabbit Fever in our state. The rabbits were out of control ~ bunnies everywhere because the fox population had been wiped out by mange. It's all so connected. One thing out of balance causes a domino effect. Anyway, a guy across the street from me got sick & it really made me worry. The health dept advised gloves when working in your garden/yard which is really hard for me to do. I can't be the only one who can't "feel" the plants thru gloves?? I hope you are feeling much better now. Your blog header photo is amazing.

I am one of those gardeners that can't work with gloves on - I feel they really hinder me but since my baby grandson has come along - I take far more precaution when coming in from the garden. Well you never know just when he is in need of a cuddle from Grandma and I'd never forgive myself if I passed something from the garden onto him. Wise words you have shared with us Joy. Hoping for a speedy recover for you.<br />I too love the shaggy walkway - it's perfect in my eyes. The new Weigela is just as you promised in your comment on my blog.

After seeing your tomato patch I am bowled over how organized and amazing it looked while growing and what a bounty of tomatoes!<br />Every time you have some you will think of summer and that is wonderful during winter : )<br /><br />Robin girl I have to stick to a schedule even though some may look good .. I never know how I will feel so to keep things half way orderly and less of a problem come Spring, out they go!<br />I feel better knowing I have done as many chores as possible before the snow flies !<br /><br />Thank you Cindee girl : )I couldn't resist a picture of the owls because every time I look at them I think of you and your real owls .. I so wish I could see them !<br /><br />Buttons girl you are too sweet , thank you so much .. yes it was a bit of a shock and I so want to feel normal again so I stick to the plan and make myself get well one way or another! haha <br /><br />Hello Diana girl .. with this antibiotic I can't have dairy at all .. I don't know about the probiotic though so I have to find out about that .. yes I know antibiotics can do some damage as well as good .. it is crappy we have to pay a price to get the good stuff done.<br />Thanks for letting me know about the probiotic girl ... I will look into it !<br /><br />Hello sweetie ! and thank you ! .. yes I have done that too .. touched my plants many a time but garden gloves have always been a must for me .. I just didn't think of my feet and now that is another no go zone ? LOL<br />Do use more caution Barry .. this is a serious thing .. I didn't see coming .. to be able to shock your own doctor is kind of funny .. well you know what I mean .. I may be the only second case record ... but hey ... my soil is supplement so who knows where our soil is truly coming from when we top up all the time ?

I too am bare handed and bare footed in the garden for the most part, and yes, even a cut is an open receptacle for these nasty bacteria to 'come on in!' I also have a habit of touching a lot of my plants - I love examining the blue hooded flowers of Monkshood - which as we both know is slightly more than crazy toxic if ingested..... but who says it has to enter the system orally? Thanks for the heads up and here's hoping you can soon be rid of that nasty unwanted visitor!

I hope the antibiotic works and does its job. I had quite a round of three strong ones back to back. Did they tell you to take a probiotic? Eating yogurt is not enough if you are on a heavy duty antibiotic. You can end up with all kinds of "gut" issues. I took a prescribed on for about 3 months after I was off the meds. Good luck.
