Death in July

The following could kill you:
Large boulders

The following could be fatal:
Unrelenting stress of a
year-long trial, especially if you're at the center of it
Overdosing after
two failed suicide attempts
Hand foot mouth disease
An enlarged aortic root
Blockage in five of your seven major chakras (alas this is actually what a fake Tibetan healer told a Ukrainian woman in order to justify raping her)
Any sign of indecisiveness (to your career, if you're a CEO)
Making the mistake of "comparing U.S. servicemen who run Gitmo to those who guarded the prison camps in Nazi Germany"
Heat + respiratory problems
Allergies

Fatality and Kill Report for July 18

The number of things that "could kill you" or "could be fatal" dipped over the weekend, but a brief search this morning shows that Mondays can be quite manic indeed. I will add to this list as the day progresses, but to get us started:

The following could be fatal:
Ticks! Especially those playing host to Ehrlichiosis, which is more deadly than Lyme disease and extremely rare
Showering? Not exactly fatal, but some preteens apparently act like it is.
Hyponatremia, a condition that results from
drinking too much water during heavy workouts, like distance running.
A
love affair with food, especially if you're black and diabetic.
