i do wish that people would stop bringing up plague -- it's now very easily treated, to the extent that the flu is a far greater threat. now, in the area of the hemmoragiac viruses, there is cause for concern, though the incubation time for those is so short that they tend to be self limiting. smallpox, maybe -- which i somehow think i've heard a thing or two dozen about lately, including the president last week ordering up several million doses of vaccine -- or tetanus. then there are poisons, from plutonium to ricin to botulin. as to the author of this raging shriek, someone might want to point out to her that botulism is not a communicable disease. you get poisoned by botulin, you die, end of story. for her to suggest that someone is a botulism carrier is as goofy as if she were to describe someone as the carrier of toadstools.

for her to suggest that someone is a botulism carrier is as goofy as if she were to describe someone as the carrier of toadstools. Well said. Great, actually.
Small Pox is a serious concern in my opinion.
