save that txt file on your computer. Go into Anki, click file, download, personal deck and follow the prompts. Unfortunately the import is often scrambled. See if you have better luck than me.

Baba,

How about we agree that it was a combination of what you said and what I said? Or maybe it came from God?

Thanks for mentioning the aflatoxin issue. Aflatoxins are contained in the mold that grows on nuts in storage and is one of the most powerful carcinogens known. In the west there are tests and controls in place for things like peanut butter. In China I have been served warm wet peanuts still in the shell. I will not eat these.

@bodawei - unlike smoking, aflatoxins can cause cancer with one dose.

the incubation period is always the same. Its a recognizable pattern. It is 1-2 weeks. Not as obvious as 1 day but still doable. How did the Chinese figure out what herbs had which healing properties? Trial and error - and observation. Cause and effect even more separated. Centuries they had. How did they figure out what caused children? "Remember the incubation period" (9 months). Yet they did. Then again maybe aliens were here and they explained it to them.

I would think that after years of observation, those with any smarts would notice that people could get ill, with specific symptoms, following a meal of pork. Populations, groups, families, or individuals that didnt eat pork, never suffered this malady. It was just a correlation derived from experience. I would think they would have known this. I cant prove it but it makes sense to me.

I have heard of pidgin and btw pig-latin is great for stealthy conversation in China. Non native english speakers can not follow it.

Baba, they didnt know why, they just knew pork often caused illness. We now know that proper cooking can prevent this.

Im impressed, I ddnt think they had pork latin down under.
