Thoughts



Well . . . I do believe that I might be placing tender on a former fiery passion of mine, and that is the investigation of diseases. Granted this isn't a formal thing or anything . . . my investigating is more of the reading type . . . so don't expect any pictures of dying disease ridden children.

Starting back on my path of reading up on various ills befalling the beloved human race . . . the first book I investigated was "The Hot Zone" by the genius author Richard Preston  . I've had previous exposure to Richard Preston before with a book that he actually wrote after "The Hot Zone" named Cobra Event - Which I'd recommend to anyone -.

So far the books main focus is filoviruses. This would include such virues as Marburg and the Ebola virus which has received much attention in recent years due to the gruesome nature by which it kills it victims. I'll add more details when I've finished the book . . . and I'll give a complete review.
