Eh? But aren't rubella, parvovirus, Chicken Pox etc, all problematic in pregnancy, viruses rather than bacteria?

Thanks. I looked there but couldn't find the info. Shall look again. Xx

i have been away for the weekend so have not been keeping up. is this more dangerous than normal flu or is its ability to spread that concerns everyone? I have children at goodrich so potentially it will progress to there soon so perhaps someone who knows what they are talking about could let me know. Thanks.
Heidi hi There is conflicting opinions about taking star anise when pregnant, think it up to individuals, google "star anise pregnancy", but there are other herbs which contain Shikimic acid, one of the properties from star anise. Have a look at link above. Roche is buying up the star anise, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/11/1128_051128_star_anise.html

That's the thing - no-one DOES really know what they're talking about.


The usual scientific realists, such as the likes of Ben Goldacre, rather than say 'it's a load of rubbish' or 'we're all doomed' have sensibly said 'it's still too early to tell'.


By all accounts anyone who's had it has suffered with nothing more than a normal bout of 'flu, no more life-threatening than the usual yearly 'flu that does the rounds.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
