I actually learned of this because I bought Shrek glasses at a thrift store and posted them online and someone warned me - luckily mine were from a different year and not this recall

Subsequent encounter actually means a follow up visit for that condition, not the same event happening twice (FYI)

Reply to TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212

>Although tularemia isn't usually deadly, we were working with a far more virulent strain than any I would ever have been exposed to in nature.

I can't express how enraged reading shit like this makes me, ugh... 🤦

It's one of the diseases that can be weaponized.

At least twice, I’d guess, since there’s “initial encounter” and “subsequent encounter”.

Probably not very often, though, because there isn’t a code for “somebody tell this person to stay away from turtles”.
