A week behind in hump day questions... here's last weeks for ya

Where does the brand name of this old drug come from

And this week's question is on tb vaccines -
1. What does BCG stand for?
2. Why doesn't the US routinely vaccinate for TB?
3. The BCG brand currently available in the US is brand name TICE... where did it get its name from and what do we use it for

It is made from the desiccated thyroid of pigs and I would imagine that Armour meat packing provided the "raw ingredients" hence the name...a guess.

Armour? Like in the Hot Dogs.....LOL

1. BCG, stands for bacille Calmette-Guerin.
2. Because it throws off the TB skin testing, and there are multiple types of TB.
3. All I can find is that TICE is a strain developed by the University of Illinois. If it's an acronym for something, I'm not finding it. I do know the cultures are frozen, so TB that's ICEd? It is used mostly on adults with a certain strain of TB, but it's mostly used overseas.

This is what I know as a June Bug. Had them in So. Cal.

I would like to point out that broody turkey from hell is from Chickadoodle's flock.

Just sayin' I think that answers the nature vs nurture question.

I think Chicka should come babysit while that girl is being broody, since it is her fault.
