Do FFers know this risk?

Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."
According to the FDA, "a

Actually, I was bullied, called names, and tormented in various ways throughout school, and harming another student or harming myself was never in my mind. I don't believe being bullied can cause this.
**It was organized so that everywhere I looked in the classroom except at the teacher (yes, even when I kept my eyes on the floor), they had it arranged to torment me.**
Is it possible there was an element of paranoia involved? I'm not asking this to be rude or sarcastic, but you mentioned your feelings of escaping the bullying was a sign of mental illness. Is it possible there was an underlying cause of why you felt they were always after you? Could it be possible that because of your possible paranoia, they pursued you more? I've found that bullies will feed off of anything and everything you give them. Be it fear, panic, paranoia, happiness, retaliation, etc.

In light of the extent of my bullying experience, I disagree.

No, I said that wanting to kill yourself is typically a sign of mental illness. Wanting to escape being bullied would, in my opinion, be a perfectly sane feeling.

No. I can describe to you exactly how they did what they did if you like, and I assure you that this is not all in my head. In the past, I have had problems with depression, not paranoia. I do not hear voices in my head and I do not concoct situations that never happened. I well know fiction from fact. When I say that some of the kids made a habit of sliding halfway under the table so they could make faces or whisper things to me while the teacher wasn't looking, I am absolutely telling the truth.
I don't know that it was necessarily organized across the whole, although I know that groups of girls have been known to do these things (settle on a specific victim and then openly and concretely decide what they are going to do to that person). I think that it was less like that and more like a few people decided to do it, so other people decided to join in.

That's a pretty big inference, but I'd have to say no. I'd say that it was more as I described to Harmony. I was at the top of my class academically, and when many of the other top performers took a place in an advanced class (my parents did not permit me), that left me far, far ahead in a class of average students. Add in a voice that carries and you have all you need for someone to be bullied.
I can't help but think that you have the impression I've made up much of what I claim as my experience. If that's the case, it's not accurate.

You don't think bullying can do what?
Did *I* suggest smoking? I don't recall saying anything about smoking...but maybe I'm wrong.
I will say, the only time I tried to get a permenant they kept the rollers/solution in 2x as long as usual and it still only made a slight wave in my hair, no curls. :-(

What area of Canada?
And yeah I said hippie california and it was just a tongue-in-cheek reply to the idea of "hundreds of ENers in a hair salon" being in another universe. ;-)

No, I wasn't meaning that as a tactic to cope or stop it, only that we shouldn't be encouraging anyone to stop being who they are to avoid bullying.
As I've said, I've been through severe bullying too. As it was, it was only a more severe trauma happening to me which made me not care about the bullies anymore - made me stand up to them because I didn't care anymore. That's what worked!
I just think if we can give our children the confidence to be who they are, it will help a lot.
If everyone felt like that, there would be no bullying because the bullies would not feel pressed down by other sources (their parents probably) and so would not need to act out their pain on other people. Because it's the bullies who have the problem, in my view.
I know what you mean about it not being addressed by teachers. It wasn't in my school either. They were very old fashioned and had a viewpoint of it'll toughen the kids up - or they just didn't care. When I was 15 and had my first girlfriend, I was being bullied for that, for my sexuality. I went to a senior teacher, who was also my year head, and told her I was being bullied for my sexuality. She said, since I was "a dyke" in her words, that she couldn't help me. It's terrible when teachers don't care.

Soooo "hippie California" is another universe? Why is that? Now I think I may take offense. California is pretty darned normal compared to other parts of the US and Canada. And the healthcare is better from what I hear.
But I guess to find good healthcare one would practically have to be in another universe.
