The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.
I spotted this poor squirrel on our bird feeder and having never seen anything like it, thought is was interesting. Research on the net seems to indicate this is a pox virus and is not fatal to squirrels or contagious to humans. The differential would include bot fly infestation, but the bot fly tumor has a eschar like opening.

Great Work! Here is a quote from the new movie Tumors on a Squirrel adapted from your fascination with the movie Snakes on a Plane:
"I'm tired of these mother f---ing tumors on this mother f---ing squirrel"
STB I share your concerns, but both the pox virus and the bot fly are transmitted BY mosquitos so maybe not ENOUGH spraying!!
Humans do get bot flies but not in JB they can get them in C.A. where we have been. See-http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/botfly.html
or just Google "bot fly" pretty interesting stuff!
Clay thanks also for the quote was my salutation that obvious?
