I am re-opening this thread after some edits and have also merged the new infections thread into it so the topic stays together
a few points to note
#1
This thread is clearly labeled as related to infections. If the subject or poster(s) trigger you, please move on and dont post to it.
#2 If members have a problem with a post that they feel violates our guidelines, please REPORT it using the report button
By retorting instead of reporting, you could find yourself in violation of the guidelines!
again a reminder of what the guidelines say about posting at NT

Inappropriate Content
This is, first and foremost, a self-help support and education community. That means if your message (post or PM) isn't about offering support or information to another person or asking for it, it's potentially not appropriate for our community.

Please credit other members with enough discernment and intelligence to be able to decide for themselves what is relevant information and what is not.
#4
there is a feature here to place another member on "ignore" if you find them upsetting. that means you will not see their posts nor be able to receive any PMs from them.
I strongly recommend that those who feel triggered by others use that feature
#5
please consider this an "official" warning that disrespectful posting to each other will not be tolerated here, on this thread or any other. I have clearly posted the guidelines above. If we have further violations, members could find their accounts in probation, which means all posts have to first be mod approved before appearing to the boards. We do *not* want to do that, but we also cannot have this forum disrupted by strife. It is not fair to anyone, least of all the members who are here to find support and information. Everyone is dealing with more than enough suffering with their illness. They dont need to be subjected to discord in a place that is supposed to be a safe haven.
I would appreciate everyone heeding this
thank you
