...just a little risk we're talking about," says Stanford's Julie Parsonnet, though she points out that not everyone infected with the bacterium develops cancer.

When the human body is pressed to imitate the tireless actions of a machine, it revolts. The result is chronic tendinitis and carpal-tunnel syndrome, a painful condition of the wrists and forearms that can leave a worker virtually crippled even after corrective surgery...
