...fighting, I went to a seminar about inoculation at Cassandra's yoga center. Along with about 50 other people, we paid $30 each to listen to Dr. Lauren Feder. I was doing a pretty good job of distracting myself until Feder told us that a good case of whooping cough can protect your child from asthma, that measles cure eczema and that only 1% of the mere 15% of prevaccine kids who got polio became paralyzed. Feder really sees the good side of life-threatening diseases. I bet she believes Ebola cures wrinkles...
...football contest. The goal of the pregame, however, remains the same: getting that good buzz going. Skip the girly drinks on game day, and get some Captain in your veins to enhance your performance as a fan. Beer, shots, Jack and Coke, or even Grandpa’s old cough syrup will also allow you to yell for far longer and come up with much cleverer insults for the opposing team (or so you will think), spurring the Harvard troops to victory.

Overall, M. avium-related disease is rare. The illness causes occasional fevers, a persistent cough and a general feeling of exhaustion that can last for months. Researchers estimate that two in every 100,000 Americans become sick from M. avium. That's about as many people in the U.S. with TB, but unlike TB, M. avium-related disease doesn't spread from person to person...
...either in isolated rooms, at home, or in Stillman Infirmary. “Everyone at Stillman has been phenomenal,” said Kevin W.H. Chi ’10, who has been in Stillman for five days with flu-like symptoms, including a 103 degree fever and a cough. “UHS tends to get a bad rap. I’ve been taken care of very well.” Chi said he receives food from Harvard University Dining Services every day after he fills out his requests on a printed menu. Stillman can accommodate...
