Doing good and alert now. After his wakeup jab. Streptococus was the

visited Cairo. Who knows?


Streptococus is *everywhere* he probably got it from himself... but that
name is just a genus one would really need to know the species and
strain.

As with a lot of bacteria we tolerate them very well if they are where
they are supposed to be but get into the wrong place with a suitable
enviroment for them to multiply and we get disease.
