Have you never heard of the germ theory of disease? It's the remarkable new idea that it's not bad smells or lethargy that cause disease, but incredibly tiny particles, or germs, that can get transmitted from one person to another. Louis Pasteur (you should Google him) has written some articles on the subject and even is rumored to have come up with a way to make people immune to rabies.

I wonder if they'll ever discover what causes mononucleosis. You know, some people actually think it's a virus!

Mononucleosis
Taking up the cranky, old man mantle, eh? Damm kids these days!

IIwill give him a little slack; being run down- tired, malnourished, under stress, etc, puts a strain on your body's ability to respond to a viral infection and can lead you becoming more vulnerable to infection.
