This is especially true of thromboembolic (traveling bloodclot) disorders. According to the Government's admittedly incomplete data on annual death causes, roughly 17 out of every 1,000,000 women die of such disorders.

As a result, they multiplied 17 by 5 and came to the conclusion that approximately 85 of the 5,000,000 pill-taking women should have died in 1965 from the effects of traveling clots...

So far, the best palliative treatment for dysautonomia consists of using tranquilizers to help control the intense vomiting that characterizes the disorder. There is no cure...
...summertime, usually beginning in July, at least one species of mosquito carries the WEE virus from infected animal to man or from infected man to man. He also knew that some birds, notably swallows, harbor the virus. But in the Rockies and on the high plains the carrier mosquitoes die off as winter begins and insect-eating birds fly south. Where did the virus spend the winter...
