Reminder to RPHs who pass out Marijuana products, make sure you have a RX for it if the state wishes to ignore the federal law status as a class 1 RX product. Otherwise you may be in the same situation as this oregon RPH.

Syphilis is decreasing by 28% in San Antonio thanks to better detection/more funding/etc. PCN is the drug highlighted in the article admired as "cheap" and effective by a MD who directs the STD clinic.  Obviously the best advice to people: keep your clothes on.

Who watches the watchers? Growing up I was told how certain professionals should be treated by the laymen with a slight bit of suspicion because they might have their "hand/finger in the till" in reference to those who may pilfer. This is the story of a fired hospital director who diverted 200,000 oxycondone pills. While the average wholesale price is probably much less than $28 per pill, it is a testimony to the influence that temptation can play in people's lives.

A german pharmaceutical manufacturer is planning on relocating to San Antonio. It cost the City $1M, but in exchange the company promised to stay at least 8 years. One councilman said to a company official: if you see a pothole, call me directly. Many of the jobs will be lab workers with salaries in the $60-70k range.

As an example of jurisprudence of one state being relevant to another state:
A Virginia Beach man becomes addicted to pain medicine. He kills his druggist. He gets to go to jail.
If said person had been addicted, and not commited a crime he could've sued his druggist if both people lived in another state.
Rule to wise, do not commit crimes.
This is part of why pharmacies have to have security systems/burglar alarms.

As read in the newspaper, and also seen on the web, Yum brands is reducing the number of food dyes like Food, Drug & Cosmetic Blue No. 1 Dye. In honor of the news, I'll make the following text the same color.

This is known to people who abide by the Fiengold Diet as a confounder in the quest of determining if one causes ADHD/ADD.

When searching for one peer reviewed article on the subject the website wouldn't load. The following case report points out that in the severely ill, they absorbed way too much of it, and lo and behold like many things in life, when you consume too much of anything it makes one *really* sick.

In fairness, if one has the following diseases: Gram-negative sepsis, cadaveric renal transplant, symptomatic atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, acute right heart failure, and tricuspid regurgitation, one likely wouldn't be advised under a doctor's care to go eat at McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, Sonic, Wendy's or any fast food joint. Doubtful, if even Chipotle would be acceptable.

Also in the stranger world of food news, in France, grocers are no longer allowed to throw out usable (but unsellable) food. They have to donate it or feed it to the dogs.

"It's scandalous to see bleach being poured into supermarket dustbins along with edible foods" a former food minister said.

Also in the odd news factoids....

Ole Ingram Grocery is presently using a septic tank.The city council wants people to use the sewer system instead and connect to its system. The grocery store owner says he does not have the money to pay $5,000 to apply to join the system, pay for people to lay pipe to connect his system and get a pump to move it to and fro. The city says some people in the past didn't have to pay fees, but by not connecting to their system he has a $500 fine per day and must connect within 90 days.
