Fascinating. It appears to be constructed in a river gorge, so I was wondering if it had ever been flooded. I found this information...

"Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan’s long history includes many dramatic moments. There were massive fires in 1909 and 1916. A large rock destroyed one of the ryokan’s buildings in 1925. A major typhoon hit in 1982. As a result, the hotel’s main building has moved three times." https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/nishiyama-onsen-keiunkan-worlds-oldest-hotel-intl-hnk

I stayed in a ryokan for a few days. I found it wonderful. It does require an adventurous spirit for a Westerner though. I had never heard of this one though.

Were the pet meds cheaper or more expensive? We used to do a lot of self administered animal and livestock medication. When we did it, the animal stuff was generally cheaper but was the same stuff. If you remember the ivermectin and fenbendazole warnings that emerged during and after the Covid pandemic, there was all this stuff about not using the animal stuff on humans. They were the SAME med, although in some of those cases, the concentrations were different. You don't wan to give a 180 pound human the same amount as a 1200 pound horse.

I know that some preppers buy antibiotics from aquarium supply houses.

Little know facts that you need not believe

 

[Shirley Martin]

The human body hosts a vast community of microorganisms collectively known as the human microbiota, with bacteria being the most abundant group. Current estimates suggest that an average adult contains about 38 trillion bacterial cells, while the total number of human cells is around 30 trillion, giving a ratio of roughly 1.3:1 in favor of bacteria.

Bacteria in the human body are not merely passive passengers; many have mutualistic or commensal relationships with their digestion, produce essential metabolites, and help regulate immune responses. They contribute to digestion, produce essential metabolites, and help regulate immune responses. While some bacteria can be pathogenic under certain conditions, the majority are beneficial or neutral, forming what is sometimes called the normal microbiota.

If all the bacteria were to die, the person would die.
