    when i moved out here, it was strange to here about all these weird disease's that you can get here but would never of heard of in ireland. one particularly nasty one here is called chikungunya, it got me thinking, has anyone else who's moved away been surprised by new things that can hurt/kill you or make you ill?

    another freaky thing was there was a scorpion in my house the other day! my biggest insect worry used to be wasp's!

    No bird flu here or anything and even if there was Bush had a plan to stop the birds from escaping infected areas (how I don't know apart from shooting them). :)

    I once lived at a place where centipedes were in abundance in the bathroom. I would see one practically everyday. Most of them were small things but still looked creepy. However, I almost had a heart attack when I once saw a 10 inch centipede! :eek: It was so big with lots and lots of legs and it was shiny black, not a colour you want to see on a critter. Thank God it was afraid of the light so it just ran away and hid itself in the trash. Threw that trash out with so much fear.

    Cirrhosis of the liver, injury by chav, hit by a BMW driver. Those are the main risks where I live.

    Snakes. They have snakes here. Not poisonous ones, I don't think, but still.
