# about half of it...
I've found out I have yet another cold. That's three in the last couple of months.

My assignment is ironically on modeling diseases that people can catch more than once :S

And you?

# hmmm, the words psychosomatic appear in there anywhere? ;)
just kidding.
Hands on research is the best way.

I is good, but still procrastinating on the 10 minutes it will require to complete yesterdays tasks.

# hehe
Not in my assignment anyway, but geez I left physics for maths to get away from the practical experimental stuff. *sneezes*

The same model works for headlice and an extension of the model considering male and female populations as two separate and interacting populations models the clap very nicely...

# I don't think you can
catch genital warts more than once. You can't get rid of the bastards. I read somewhere.

# herpes
or at least the strain that causes chicken pox and shingles

my old bio teacher had chicken pox three times, then got shingles, she was gutted

# aw poor thing
you usually get immunity to CP once you've had it don't you?

# you're meant to
although if you do get it again it's usually shingles.
as it's herpes she probably got slight mutations of the virus which most people's immune systems can deal with but hers couldn't.

think there's very few diseases where you're infected by the exact same virus/bacteria twice as they evolve so quickly
