Partmonte Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Really sad. Got to feel for the woman and her family. I've been to Cuba numerous times and this is the first i hear of it. Totally forgot about Zika as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBirdman Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Quite scary - sounds like permanent neurological damage. Nothing to sneeze at, and hardly a hazard you expect to encounter on a Caribbean vacation. Hope she does recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Surgeon Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This is something I'm hyper aware of when I'm in Cuba, the DR or Nicaragua. They use organophosphates quite liberally. Hard pass on any sort of exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, dude. You guys are all wrong. The glue they use on the wrapper is the same glue used on cheap wedding invitation envelopes.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My buick got stuck behind a Mosquito Fog Truck that decided to start fumigating. We couldn't get out of the chemical fog stream as we were boxed in by trafic. Guaranteed that 5 minutes took a few years off my life 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drooling on oneself. Deciding if you need to fart or crap yourself (wait, am I wearing my Depends today???) Picking grey hairs off of one's chest. The PRIME of one's life. (I was gonna post a picture of @dobaman after a night out drinking, lol) Yup, the good years. Dammit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
