    Australian Health Alert

    I got this by e-mail from abuddy - thot I'd warn you.

    Department of Health & Welfare Australia
    Minister for Health
    P.O Box 69
    Canberra ACT 2600
    Canberra, August 27, 2006


    IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PHYSICIANS

    CONFIDENTIAL

    Subject: New contamination possible in most States



    Recent studies conducted on "aphthous fever" (for which we have just received conclusive results) indicate that in certain cases this can be transmitted to humans. We foresee a possible contamination in most Australian States. Cases have been reported in Melbourne (3), Sydney (2), Adelaide (4), Hobart (1), Brisbane (2) and more recently in Canberra (1).

    It was observed that the subjects examined were regular consumers of wine and spirits. Most (97.6%) of the subjects would encounter serious problems with their vision when having gone without alcohol for 1 to 2 days on average.

    Extended periods without alcohol would seriously affect the individuals reading capabilities. The subjects would also feel a trembling sensation. In extreme cases, individuals would start to hallucinate and see coloured specks when staring at an object for extended periods.

    If you encounter any such patients having these symptoms, please contact the Crisis Centre in Canberra immediately.

    Our research to date has resulted in a cure, consumption of alcohol every day for 3 months!!!

    Please pass this document on to everyone you believe at risk!!!

    It was originally sent out four months ago. I bet everyone in Australia is dead by now. Unless of course this is just another spoof e-mail. Let's test it to see if anyone is still alive in Australia.

    Mayet? Are you okay?

    I'm doing my bit to avoid this awful disease...



    I'd be the village idiot, but that spot is already taken.
