[Histonet] Treponema tissue blocks

[relia1 at earthlink.net]

Hi All, (Especially John)
I apologize if the term histopeeps offends you.  It was never meant to be offensive.  More like a term of endearment.
Perhaps better suited to social media.  Note taken.  
I too have seen a significant shift to social media and have tried to do my part by posting on social media promoting the histonet at least a couple of times a quarter.
In deference to the histonet, I won't mention or provide the link for the group where the bulk of the activity that used to be on the histonet is now happening.
Maybe the shift is due to the group on Social Media being less critical and more welcoming.  Just a thought...
And I will keep my posts to a minimum and remove the term histopeep from future posts.
If you happen to be someone who is interested in seeing my regular posts just shoot me an email to relia1 at earthlink.net and I will subscribe you to my emails.
Congratulations...
You have intimidated and chased off another active member.

Thanks-Pam 🍂

Still here John. I think a lot of people have joined histology Facebook groups. Maybe could also be a part of why there aren't as many contributors as there used to be.
Have a good day!!

Dear Bob,
Good to see that you're still histonetting!  Until I saw your recent message I was contemplating abandoning the web site after reading and occasionally contributing for more than 30 years.
The current abundance of emails addressed to "histopeeps" is insulting, especially to professionally qualified technologists. Relia, whoever you are, give us all a break.
We need more correspondence of the kind we had in earlier decades, about the technology.
Hopefully you and I are not the only remaining elderly histonetters.
Others, young or old, please show yourselves.
Cheers,  John Kiernan

In reply to Ni Nie's request:

The best source of Treponema pallidum control tissue used to be necrotic liver from necropsies of syphilitic stillbirths. These were only 25 years in the past when I was a pathology resident in the 1960s. Possibly some of this material is still around. As congenital syphilis returns, there might be such material available today - one such case could supply the world for years, after all.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis control tissue can be obtained from necropsies on monkeys with tuberculosis, most commonly rhesus macaques in India.
