Quick Take: Oh, Great - PA Woman Who Interacted With Monkeys at Truck Wreck Now Has Symptoms

The Daily Mail is reporting this morning (it had to come from a foreign press operation since the corrupt U.S. press is studiously ignoring the story) that the Pennsylvania woman to came into contact with lab monkeys at the site of a truck wreck last week is now showing symptoms of an infectious disease.

From the story at the Daily Mail:

A woman who stopped to help after a truck carrying 100 lab monkeys crashed in Pennsylvania fears she's caught an illness after one of the macaques hissed in her face, leaving her with pink eye symptoms.

Michelle Fallon, from Danville near Scranton, was driving directly behind the vehicle when it crashed, throwing animal crates all over the highway and smashing some to pieces.  Three of the macaques escaped and went on the run, but all have since been captured and humanely euthanized. All of the other monkeys - who'd arrived in the US from Mauritius that morning, and were en route to a lab, have been accounted for.

Fallon has now had a rabies shot, and wrote about the symptoms she has since suffered on Facebook - and also told PA Homepage that she'd developed symptoms of pink eye - an inflammation or infection of the eye ball. 

She said: 'I was close to the monkeys, I touched the crates, I walked through their feces so I was very close. So I called (a helpline) to inquire, you know, was I safe?

'Because the monkey did hiss at me and there were feces around, and I did have an open cut, they just want to be precautious.' 

Fallon said she got out to help both the driver and the animals in their cages, initially believing them to be cats. When she approached and put her hand on the cage, she says the monkey hissed at her.

The day following the accident, Fallon suddenly developed a cough and pink eye, which became so bad that she had to visit the emergency room at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.

Lovely. Just lovely.

Due to the utter, complete negligence of the corrupt U.S. news media, we sit here five days after the accident still not knowing who owned the monkeys, where they were coming from and where they were headed when the accident took place. The CDC isn’t saying, and nobody in our worthless press is asking. Because whatever the answers are, they are most definitely not consistent with the Democrat/media preferred narrative.

The one bit of useful information we do have - that the monkeys had been imported into the country from Mauritious - was contained in this release from the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Human Services:

You can bet someone got in trouble for releasing that information.

Also, note the last part of that notice: “If you were within five feet of the NHP crates without respiratory or eye protection, monitor yourself for signs of illness including fever, fatigue, cough, diarrhea, and vomiting.”

Holy crap. These monsters. These absolute monsters.

I’ll provide further updates on this gruesome story should additional information come to light.

That is all.
