I still use it and so does my family. Absolute best for all chest problems and coughs. Mom uses it sometimes for asthma. It may not keep up with pneumonia though....I've never had it. http://frugallysustainable.com/2011/12/horehound-lozenges-homemade-remedy-for/ http://www.healthy.net/scr/mmedica.aspx?MTId=1&Id=226 You can buy Horehound cough drops at Walmart.

I was just checking your links and apparantly, making your own coughdrops are not only super-cheap.... but also easy & quite tasty! <clipped from ^link^ above> Indications: Horehound is a valuable plant in the treatment of [b]bronchitis [/b]where there is a non-productive cough.

But horehound, Marrubium vulgare, is an herb that can easily be grown in your garden. One plant is enough for a family and can be used not only for horehound drops, but also tea and homemade cough syrup. Horehound is very easy to grow and can actually become a pest if not watched carefully. It self-seeds readily and rapidly! The flowers should be cut BEFORE they dry and form seeds. Horehound is not picky about soil---except if it's wet and heavy. It can even grow in dry, rocky ground in full sun! The seed can be sown in the spring after the frost ends. The plant will bloom the second season, but can be harvested the first year since it's the leaves that are mainly used. http://oldfashionedliving.com/horehound.html ----- seeds for sale at link - 5,000 seeds $4.99 or 10,000 seeds $8.99 *plus lots of additional information <snipped> [b]Flower Specifications:[/b] Season: Perennial USDA Zones: 4 - 8 Height: 18 - 24 inches Bloom Season: Summer Bloom Color: White Environment: Full Sun Soil Type: Moist, well-drained, pH 6.1 - 7.8 Deer Resistant: Yes [b]Planting Directions:[/b] Temperature: 65F Average Germ Time: 2 - 3 weeks Light Required: No Depth: 1/4 inch Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant Moisture: Keep moist until germination Plant Spacing: 10 inches Care & Maintenance: See: Horehound http://www.outsidepride.com/seed/flower-seed/horehound-flower-seed.html ----- http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_query=horehound&Find=Find&search_constraint=0&_be_switches=rmfield_product_badges_rmvalue_top_rated:off [/quote]
Original Message
I was contributing to another thread (linked below) on the Madagascar pneumonic plague epidemic. It appears that this is really starting to spread.
There are many reported cases in/around Peru - one of which was a doctor who became infected after he was treating plague patients. It is unknown how many people he may have infected before he realized he was contagious.
There's also an unknown respiratory illness that's been reported near Houston, Texas (Montgomery County) which has resulted in 4 deaths thus far. Patients are said to have flu-like/pneumonia symptoms yet tested negative for the flu.
Here's the original thread:
Thread: NOW: Two PNEUMONIC plague cases have been found in Madagascar
I'll quote my comments below - and continue reporting any updates I find on this thread.
