Matamoros is across from the border town of Brownsville may be at risk. The clinics where patients were infected were River Side Surgical Center and Clinica K-3 and they closed operations on May 13, 2023.

Kroger Makes a Change Customers Hate (Walmart and Target May Follow)
Dona Conchita is setting up a self check out counter the local barrio tortillerillas are doing the same, the only problem is that most residents can't read nor write much less how to use a computer system.
GOOD LUCK HERE WALMART!!!
I preferr HEB its locally owned by Hermes Emilliano Buenfuegos (HEB) and its full of meskin all the time. forget walmart and target.
That is why people should not go have cosmetic surgery done in 3rd world countries. If you go you go at your own risk. Is a set of bigger tetas worth the risk of leaving your children motherless?

Updated Case Counts
Fungal meningitis is a rare, life-threatening fungal infection that causes swelling of the areas around the brain and spinal cord. People can get infected during medical procedures if all infection control practices are not followed.
Background
CDC, the Mexican Ministry of Health, and U.S. state and local health departments are responding to a multinational outbreak of fungal meningitis among people who had procedures under epidural anesthesia in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Officials identified two clinics associated with the outbreak: River Side Surgical Center and Clinica K-3. These clinics were closed on May 13, 2023. Anyone who had procedures under epidural anesthesia in these clinics from January 1 to May 13, 2023, is at risk for fungal meningitis. Learn what to do if you are at risk.
The Mexican Ministry of Health provided CDC a list of U.S. residents who had procedures at River Side Surgical Center or Clinica K-3 from January 1 to May 13, 2023. Using this list, CDC and state and local health departments are trying to reach all people at risk but continue to face challenges. Some of the listed contact information is incorrect or incomplete and some at-risk persons have been identified who were not on the list. These people are being reached through outreach efforts like media and social media and through family, friends, and other contacts found during public health investigations. Health departments are encouraged to continue to raise awareness. CDC’s social media toolkit for partners provides graphics, videos, and messaging in English and Spanish to help with these efforts.
Anyone who is at risk for fungal meningitis should go to the nearest emergency room right away to be tested. Testing is done by a lumbar puncture (LP), also called a spinal tap. People who are infected should begin antifungal treatment as soon as possible.

Former Pres. Trump departs for arraignment
a la carcel jotingo
One victim died on Sunday and funeral is Sunday next.
what does this mean to me, Montoya?
tell me.
I don't see it.
Surgery always carries risks . These risks may come in many different forms( anesthesia, malpractice, reactions , bleeding etc). But unfortunately these risks are magnified when these surgeries are performed in 3rd world countries. And to top it off they are of the cosmetic type. Is it worth your life for some bigger breasts or a “ curving” body ? Freedom of choice exists but so does common sense. My opinion.
