Cryptococcus Mystery.... fungus. Lives in soil and the bark of trees. Mostly, the eucalyptus. In 1999 came to Canada and found home to local trees. By 2007 Cryptococcus gatti caused a reported 216 to become ill with pneumonia, weight loss, night sweats and fever, and 8 deaths in Vancouver. Where is it now?
Thinking out loud. They believed it was the constituients of the eucalyptus that caused the kwala bears stupor...hmmm. Wonder if the fungus too had an effect? Or is it coming from the Kwala bear?

Going a little deeper. 5. Myth: superbugs are resistant to handwashing and cleaning
                                       Truth:Washing your hands or using an alcohol-based hand rub will "protect you" (the operative words) from superbugs, just as well as from other bacteria and viruses. Superbugs may be resistant to some antibiotics, making infections difficult to treat, but they are still susceptible to cleaning and are helpless against good hygiene. I will look up a lesser known fact about our municipal treated waters or you can check out the accepted crypt. allowed in treated water.. Don't shoot the messenger just aim at the bug.
Found a nice little article about chlorine dioxide and turning it into chlorite.

Do you know why they put sodium chloride (halite, ...salt, NaCl) in shampoo? This guy wrote to the company to find out.
Shampoo comes from many manufacturers all over the world. Because a standard formula does not  take into consideration, humidity, because remember glycerin draws moisture to itself. Each batch, from day to rainy or not day, must be uniformly consistent (or we wouldn't buy it three times) so they add an adjustable amount of salt to raise the viscosity to a specific level and that is why we question when our dish detergents are not quite not as thick as they once were?
