Roommates do not give each other the disease and infected students do not transfer it in open wards. The "infectious" part of the title applies only to very close contact between the carrier and the uninfected. A report from the U.S. Military Academy suggests that "an intimate mixture of saliva . . . may transmit the disease." Thus, one might trace the disease to beer bottles or cider jugs.
