Because paper money has to be backed by gold (which there is a limited supply of), or else it'll be worthless.

     This is called "pica", and it's most often due to a mineral defeciency; the dog is instinctively trying to get whatever mineral his body is deficient in.  A hookworm infection could cause an iron deficiency; the biggest symptom of hookworms is bloody diarrhea.  If the dog is on a commercial dog food ( which is a balanced formula to meet all his normal dietary needs), and he's eating soil, then a vet needs to determine what underlying medical problem he has.

     Get a good lawyer.  Actually, it's illegal for an employer to fire someone just becuase they have hepatitis C.  What IS legal however, is firing an employee for either contracting or transmitting a blood-borne disease on the job.  This is because the employee only could have done this by violating the company's practices regarding personal protective equipment like gloves, lab coat, and safety glasses.

      Yes, because hepatitis C is transmitted through body fluids like saliva, blood, and semen.  So if you follow standard hygeinic procedures for patient care, you're not going to spread hepatitis C in a health care setting.

     There are 2 1/4 teaspoons in 1/4 oz. of dry yeast.

      Ringworm refers to a fungal infection of the skin, and it forms red lesions that kind of look like rings.

    There are 8 ounces in 1 cup.

    Borax is a white powder used along baseboards to control fleas, ants, and roaches.  If a dog or cat comes into contact with it, it can cause skin and respiratory irritation.  If they eat it, it will cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and if they've eaten a lot of it, kidney failure.    However, I've had numerous dogs and cats, never had a problem with them getting into it.  The small amounts used along baseboards is not enough to make them sick, and they've never shown any interest in smelling or eating it.

   Tay-Sach's is a heriditary neurological disorder, and one tell-tale sign is a cherry-red spot on the retina of the eye.  Has this child been determined to have that anamoly? This is a definitive diagnostic sign of Tay-Sachs. If you'te relying on lab tests, a specimen can easily be mislabeled at the testing facility, so the results reported may not be the correct results for the patient in question. Also, TaySach's shows up arpund 6 months of age, and is usually fatal by the time the child is 4 years old.  If this child is over 4, then he probably doesn't have Tay-Sach's.

    My guess would be eluding the police, because if you're successful, they won't know where you are, so they can't charge you with it.
