Alert: "Nationals Lung" aka Walking Pneumonia

This is being circulated among the terrier folk, so thought I would pass it on just in case. Stay well!

If anyone who went to the AKC nationals in Lexington VA came home sick, you need to contact the Virginia Department of Health ASAP. Specifically you must ontact the local epidemiologist Mr. Jonathan Falk at 540-280-1984. Anyone who is sick or knows someone who got sick after the Nationals should contact him and file a report immediately! People are being diagnosed with M. pneumoniae", or "microplasma"which is basically walking pneumonia. Also, if you are reading this and are already sick, it is not just a flu. Get to your Dr. ASAP for antibiotics.
Jay is on the judges list and told me that they are calling it the "Nationals Plague." If anyone has been on FB you already know that quite a few from our area are sick. Jay came home sick and now I have it. Be careful, it is very contageous!
