Gastrointestinal infections are killing more and more people ... the elderly...
Deaths from the infections more than doubled from 1999 to 2007, ... 83 percent were over age 65.
Great. I've just enter the 'group of death'. And not because I'm old. Because bugs don't like me! Well I don't like bugs right back.
Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Have you heard that before?
One of the disturbing and more disgusting facts about C. difficile is that it is very hard to remove from bare hands: neither soap and water nor alcohol-based hand sanitizers work very well.
And this is just one bug. So suit up. Get that bio suit on with the filtered air supply. OR, come at this from another angle. Maybe if we expose ourselves to as many bugs as possible we'll become immune to everything! Let's get going on that now!

The bad news is that bacteria and viruses tend to become more virulent with time. So sad.
Angelique is correct. And so do Republicans.
If I'm going to get a super bug, I want a pretty purple one like that!
Don't bacilli.
Angel - I'm just going to hang out with the dumb bugs.
Bilbo - And it's not very pretty.
Dana - They are pretty aren't they?
Elvis - Hey, if you can't bacilli, what's the point?
All I have is a germ of an idea. Maybe I can stretch it into a thesis.
If it's a super germ it will be a super thesis.
