Interesting that a quick perusal of the CDC site finds typos, bad links, and a contradiction in the number of viri required to infect you. But not to worry, what's one order of magnitude amongst friends?

It's the primary suspect for the outbreak of WisCon Cholera/Plague. I had something for a couple of days after I got back, but it was pretty mild.

Ah right-its a good guess. We went to a brunch last Feb or so and about 18 of us came down with an incredibly potent one...it was, let's say, not fun. Glad you're better-it was great re-meeting you (and no, I won't forget again).
