With wintry weather poised to swoop into the cramped outdoor quarters of Occupy Wall Street protesters, it may not be long before more campers catch what's being called "Zuccotti lung."

cigarettes and drinks being passed from mouth to mouth, and few opportunities to wash hands,

TB is spreading among the Atlanta OWS group.

Lice is rampant among another group (Seattle, I believe).

I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, but it was obvious from early on something like this was bound to occur. You can’t have a large number of people living together in unsanitary conditions without large scale health problems.
