I wonder if they have any antibiotics with them (I'm serious). They must have cuts, scrapes, blisters, bites from ticks and god knows what else. Maybe they'll get infections and die. And they must be sooooooooo extremely hungry. And if they're carting food, they'd have to worry about bears! It would sure be handy to have a Z-pak or two.
I would surrender if I was them, it sounds miserable. I just wish they were suffering with high temperatures (it's 100 here!), but I wouldn't wish that on the searchers.
I worry for people who will be opening their cabins there over the next days. I wonder how many peeps will decide not to go until the killers are located. You couldn't pay me to be in those woods with M&S on the loose.
Ticks can cause Lyme disease & people have been known to die from it. I have a question for those of you living in New York or anywhere else in the north. Do the mosquitoes up there carry West Nile virus? Here in the south we have numerous deaths every year from the mosquitoes carrying West Nile. Most victims are elderly but it's not necessarily limited to them.............anyone with a compromised immune system. Wouldn't it be something if they killed themselves by escaping?
