    This is another very good presentation! In fact, I am going to share this with many of my colleagues here at school! I know Galveston has a deep association with the medical field. Would love to see more on this! The Shriners have a wonderful history with their burn center. A+!

    That was a great presentation to attend, a little stomach unsettling at times but deeply interesting. Now excuse me while I go and make sure my pet’s flea medication is up to date…

    Great video, J.R.! UTMB is one of the great treasures of Texas.

    Great video and information! Imagine if efforts would not have been put in place to eradicate this problem, Galveston would have faced greater numbers with those affected by the Bubonic Plague.

    Thats why y'all see Hawks around the island everywhere.
    They eat rats, and mice.

    Much like the old lady who swallowed the fly, we have feral cats who manage the rats; now coyotes have shown up to deal with the cats. I'm a little concerned about what the coyotes may attract.

      Coyotes have been here a very long time. If they were going to bring something, I would think they would have already have brought it

      Life isn't always about iced cupcakes or lemon merengue pie, sometimes it has a diseased, flea-infected rat to deal with.
