Public health officials seem pretty sure that the benefits outweigh the dangers. I'm not going to start eating fish out of Lake Mendota or anything, but I feel comfortable with Salmon and Tuna. Plus - the government may think I'm pre-pregnant, but as I never plan on going through that I have less concerns!

New York should really look to Chicago. After their 1995 heat wave, they really got their act together and are seen as a model for heat wave reaction. I could go on and on about heat waves, like I did, here:

I'll check that book out - but just a warning, it might be a busman's holiday for me! When I read fiction about disease I tend to lean toward disease as a metaphor, like The Plague or Blindness.
