illness notes

The speed of this illness is remarkable ... reminds me of mIRSA. Some pathogens are like being mauled by an animal. In the morning youve got an itch and by 12 that night youve got a throbbing abscess... Thats mirsa , i mean ... This morning i had a tickle and now my head is in a really distracting amount of pain ... Probably a fever too.These organisms really are some of the most fascinating on our planet. Parasites are cooler . I remember being really impressed by the extreme life cycles of parasites we studied in high school . Talk about an extremophile ... Really, what environment could be more extreme than the inside of an organism colossal in size relative to the size of the parasite. But tight quarters all the same. I salute the parasites , viruses, pathogenic fungi , and other microbial menaces of the world . Thy symmetry is truly fearful.
