About a month or two ago, there was a story about two pitts attacking someone. I spent a good time doing some research into dog bites and found these two articles :

and

The second one is the better one. It TL;DR said yes Pitt bulls can be biters if they are raised in a bad environemnt, which is more often then other dogs since they are more often raised by low income, gang members, or by dog fighters. Other notable things mentioned were that other large dogs, even smaller ones like Terriers were just as likely to bite, and in some hospitals German Shepherds and Terriers were reported to be the biggest biters. Small dogs have a tendency to be aggressive as well but with their size, are more bark then bite or dont do as much damage. That the media is prejudice against pitt bulls in the sense that a pit bull bite is always reported on, but never another dog breed.

There is just a lot of information in those pdfs and others online.

Hello Mr. Polis, Ive been following your work through congress for the past couple years now. I was really impressed by your interest in technology and bridging the communication gap between representatives and voters and it made you one of my favorite congressmen. You were also a role model to me as one of the first openly gay congressional members as I have an interest in leadership and government. While nothing major like running for a senate seat or even at my state level, I have ran for multiple positions on my campus and would like to get into politics if computer science doesnt work out for me. Now I do not have many questions about what you are currently on, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you to play a game of League of Legends with me. I can promise not to reveal your ign or anything in regards to people figuring out what your ign is, this is just a friendly invitation to play my favorite game with one of my favorite congressmen.

Well it is one of the best ways to treat severe cases of c diff but with the costs and difficulties of even getting doctors to prescribe it, you have people doing it at home with untested family members. If a company can manufacture it and get it fully tested and approved, it will probably be the definitive and first treatment for c diff. Especially in hospitals. Vancomycin still clears out your gut bacteria and is expensive, Dificid is new and better, but still can't beat the poop.
