Vincent’s Spirochete

By Jim Long | PreppingandSurviving.Blogspot.Com | January 22, 2015

This will be a major KILLER post collapse.  I contracted this infection eating at a BBQ restaurant one time that served on wooden planks.  It was one of the most miserable times of my life.  If it had not been for modern antibiotics, I may have died.

Vincent’s Spirochete is contracted, usually from dirty eating utensils that grow the spirochete on leftover food on them.  Commonly called “Trench Mouth” by soldiers in WWI, your mouth and throat breaks out in blister sores that it becomes almost impossible to eat or swallow due to the pain of doing so.  The discharge from these is the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted.

I am very graphic in this post because I want you to realize that post collapse it will be of the utmost importance to keep your utensils clean, especially if you are living out of a back pack. Carrying a bottle of bleach and putting minute amounts in boiling water to clean your utensils will be an absolute MUST !!

It would be a shame to put all your money into survival preps and gear and to die of a microscopic organism that you contract due to you overlooking or being too lazy to wash your eating utensils and pans.

Post collapse, one of the biggest enemies will not be looters and rioters or government.  It may just be….Yourself !!
