Does anyone know if the fast child-sized squirrels are dewormed? Do we need rabies vaccines? Are there any vets in town?

For those who don't know me, I'm Dr. Robert Romano. As of a few days ago I was the only non-magical medical doctor in Etraya. If that's changed please talk to me, I'm so lonely.

And I'm serious about the fast squirrels, I also got anti-flea treatments for anyone covered in fur.

I'm pretty sure the local bat people are actually humans in costumes, so they're not a point of concern.

We haven't had any infestation issues, but there's... so many of the fast squirrels now. I don't know what the hygiene standards are like in the land of fast squirrels.

So there's a dedicated naming theme? That's a new one. At least that lays aside the potential rabies concerns.

Or if the parasites of their world would thrive here and were on any of them in the first place. Have there been disease concerns with so many different people's immune systems and world-unique virsuses or bacteria, or is that one of the things somehow handled by the fact we are here to compete for... reality continuation privileges.

You're asking questions I hadn't considered because being the local CDC shouldn't be my job.

If it's still bothering me in an hour I'll ask Aurora about it. She's helpful.

On the one hand, if you haven't seen any localized epidemics, we're probably being covered already?

Normally wouldn't take long if we're looking at human history of germ exposure to new populations. So we should be fine!

( For now? This is her attempting to be upbeat, but not being so good at it. Health concerns are a weight on her mind. Blah. What she does think is that'd be too convenient a way to have no "contest" at all, so as a factor, it's one Aurora et al can head off at the pass. )

You wouldn't expect an epidemic when we're a small population not living in close quarters. I was in a shitty bubble city before this one, I didn't see much illness there either, but infections weren't that uncommon.

Fair enough, it's not like we're being expected to live in poor ventilated shared housing. So you've been in a bubble city before now?
