Just returned, yesterday, from a great trip aboard the cruise ship 'Disney
Magic'. A great week with stops at Key West, Grand Cayman, Cazumel, and
Castaway Key, by Abaco Island in the Bahamas.

Norwalk Virus, necrotizing fasciitis, MRSA, colds, influenza...

Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other people
and their rug rats that I don't know on your recommendation.

Like hell I will. :)

Damn when did you become such an expert on virus and bacteria?

Would you consider your condition to be Microbiophobia or Misophobia?

It's Mysophobia and no, I'm not a mysophobe.

I do have two immunological disorders and have to be aware of the very
real possibility of infections of all sorts from sinus to routine
cuts, bruises and skin problems like poison ivy. If I get a cut, it
takes a while to heal becaue of it and if it gets infected, I have to
cut out some of the regular meds to take antibiotics and that ain't no
fun.

Besides I hate crowds. :)
