Very Scary Info...any confirmation?

I have WHAT in my yard? :

Found out my eyes are still pretty healthy but vision is currently ready for this? 20/830 in one eye and 20/870 in the other!! Thank all that is for modern technology!!

Otherwise I'd be sitting on a corner somewhere with a cup !

Tha'ts funny about the chief doc giving them heck about this.

I'm w/ ya on the awful eye sight. I was once told that my eye sight is about 20/5000. My rx is about -10. I'm so near-sighted that I can't function in my own home without glasses. I have to memorize where stuff is in the shower (shampoo & razor... not body parts

) in order to get everything done.​

I've been around chickens and their by-products for all of my life, and most of my family (except the latest couple of generations) we all see pretty good, I think this must be bogus. That being said, good hygine should be practiced around any animals, including humans!

I came back from Brazil with histoplasmosis when I was a kid. Scarred my retinas, but I still have extremely good vision (as in almost 20/20) and it's been stable for years. I still can wear glasses from 15 years ago, in other words. I wasnt near chickens in Brazil ( I was in the deep jungle, for heavens sake) and we didn't have them at home in the US either. Whenever I go in to have the old eyeballs checked out it's always, "Do you know you have scars on your retinas?" When I tell them they've been there for 30 plus years nobody seems too worried.

the worms can travel to the eyes...is this another myth? always wondered this....
