Introduction/Definition/etc

 

So some health stuff only noticed

with someone else and later now with myself,

but might be co-related,

so have to say something

along the lines of Duty To Warn and Protect,

as if systemic, environmental, infectious, etc

would be better not to have happen with others,

spread, contained, etc...

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

Some time ago, i don't remember how long,

but likely summertime and/or before,

this year (2019 still) or previous

I'm not sure, someone at TBH

showed me something, a health problem

he was having, while volunteering at TBH,

which was like a boil coming up onto the surface

of his forearm, and asked if i knew what it was,

i tried to remain calm, and said something holistic like

your body doesn't want it and trying to get rid of it,

having had boils on my butt, seen by a

MD, MSW naturopath things generally take their course,

and not very alarmed, but not forgetting either...

 

So coming up on the New Year,

board elections and a relatively

small agenda online for TBH

i think i'm bringing it up....

 

Is this caused by TBH/ Annie's

and the dumpster(s) say Pesticides,

chemicals sprayed on plants then

on the loading pallets,

and around the trash area(s)?

 

Something infectious? 

Something spread on tools,

people generally don't want to bother with

wearing gloves (kinda like condoms,

but much less intimate and personal)

training has not stressed it,

some what like helmet rules/

laws, lax, and unenforced,

limited liability has been included in

signing in to the bike clinic(S)

so you have to sign to use and volunteer,

so that something like lose an eye, with say a clip

of an end of a brake / shifter (sp?) cable end

into the eye, while chances may be slim,

risks of blindness, injury are high, if it does happen,

they may be higher with people who don't do it often,

people learning, and generally crowded type of environment

(setup and spreading out limited in the corner of the parking lot

taking busy Saturday parking spaces from paying customers

to the host for profit Annie's Ace HardWare...

And new Hosts, people like Matre D's who match

people with stands/ tables waiters/ mechanics

of some level, volunteers and hand holders

sort of, to talk people through,

sometimes show and sometimes just do,

though generally the rules

are don't take the tools out of someone's hands,

more empowerment and learn to use,

but many times that is have to show how to use,

muscle memory forces ,directions, not skinning

your knuckles slipping off a bolt, sometimes/

many times rusted, seized, etc..

 

So risks of disclosure, include mass hysteria,

and blow back, of many types,

I'd rather not be the group leper,

any more than i already am,

having experienced it with

TheShortOfIt

BedBugs,

and generally anything like being

the red haired kid on the playground

(update to old balding white haired guy)

 

So putting it to the Coop, now a legal 501c3

entity, to deal with in the off time,

off season before any opening in spring time,

elections and down time,

more of a question than a statement,

but PBWorks PageNames limit characters,

and this is an assistive writing type tool for

me, and revisions can go up, sometimes,

time and energy available...

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

What Can Be Found?

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Noob

 

Generally unawares of the issues,

not trained in this, and don't know,

but probably don't care either...

 

Kids

 

Longer life span and problems over time...

 

Mechanics

 

Welders

 

Students

 

Teachers

 

Insurance

 

Hosts

 

Like putting smoking together so they don't

bother each other...

or just ban smoking and eating all together?

 

Employers

 

Have medical?

No. they are just volunteers/ part time,

low hours people we don't bother...

 

General Public

 

On buses, etc, people handle hand rails,

have to touch elevator buttons, door handles,

etc...

 

 

Assumptions

 

Risks of not disclosing are worse

than disclosing...

 

Finding out generally not possible,

but will see, New Year and all...

 

Time Limits

 

How long ago was this?

 

What risks are involved?

 

How long would it take to resolve?

 

 

Book Data

 

Mostly for Book related processing

but might be some links to so called

real media, dead trees, which take

going out, things being open,

check out priviledges (sp?),

writing and editing, spelling,

forethought, etc...

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

none so far, decided to disclose,

noting it's the 11th, not the 13th

nor the Halloween Letters (M$ Computers)

but some down time, and not really wanting

to deal with the blowback, but

also not wanting the responsibility

liability and risks involved in not saying something....

 

MediCare Part C and open enrollment has closed

so changing medical plans not really an option,

and seems like losing more catastrophic coverage

for preventive care, and other problems of

health, seem somehow related

yet unspoken...

 

In an all volunteer and peer run aka Coop

type arrangement, without corporate ties,

directly, might be something else, idk,

never gone for office, and not trying to...

 

Also not trying to kill TBH, Phoenix, Velocity, etc,

but also not trying to spread systemic problems

between them, in the general we work on our own

bikes DIY environment(s), which generalized is Maker

communities too, sharing tools ,not washing / wiping them

down and even to Book sharing they seem to spray

gym equipment, at sports places, pools, etc

so some general hygiene among sweaty

exercising type transit types

is in order, imnsho...

 

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

Do you have similar issues?

 

Hear of typhoid Mary?

 

Ever seen a Boil?

 

What of the AIDS black type growths?

 

Heard of SARS?

 

Hepatitis A, B, C, .... on thru Z?

 

Herpes Zoster aka Shingles presents similarly

and that i know i have/ had had, as outbreaks

are similar, but not sexually transmitted (sp?0...

 

Do and will you wear gloves when working

on mechanical things with hazardous chemicals,

and/or sharing tools,

or like condoms not wear them?

What are your risks if you don't?

And to others?

 

As a volunteer and helper, what do you

need to tell others about the risks?

Refuse to help/serve if they don't?

For yourself?

For others?

For the org?

 

What about safety glasses?

Face Shields and face masks?

Aren't they similar with risks to eye sight?

 

Are you somehow above all that,

too seasoned, old, stupid, experienced,

well insured/

unaware, and forgetful to protect yourself

and others?

 

What's your liability for not doing such things?
