I'll try that when I finish this bottle, Robin. Cheaper is good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Always Anti-fascist!
And my recovering Hypochondriac self is gonna have to stick my fingers in my ears and go la, la, la now. Or if I want to be truly evil, freak my dad, who once convinced himself he had a tipped uterus.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
OMG, Tep. That's insane scary.
my dad, who once convinced himself he had a tipped uterus.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Good grief, Teppy. That's just....wow. Words fail me. Recovery~ma is headed his way. Do they know where he contracted it?
In more pleasant news, I would like to take this moment to wish Lysana many birthday happies. Have a wonderful day!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Do they know where he contracted it?
Nope. Because it's not like catching a cold from someone. Strep A is what killed Jim Henson, because he didn't realize it was more severe than just a sore throat, and by the time he showed up at the hospital with pneumonia, it was too late. Henson didn't have the flesh-eating manifestation, though.
The flesh-eating manifestation happens when the patient has some sort of physical (external) trauma -- like a cut or whacking your arm and getting a bruise, etc. -- and so the bacteria rush to that spot and chow down.

I think I am going to move into a padded bubble. Right now.
That's scary, scary stuff. I'm glad they caught it when they did, Tep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

::faints dead away::
Wait, so it means that when you have strep A and get a bruise -- it can eat your flesh?
I think this disease taps into the same panic centres that leprosy does, and freaked me out as a kid. Your poor boss. And his entire family...

What is even happening?
Wow, Teppy. That poor man. All my sensors are on FREAK OUT FREAK OUT FREAK OUT, right now.

Wow, Teppy. How scary and horrifying. Healthma to him.

Oh, crap, burn-type treatments are--well, a day when you only scream yourself hoarse is a good day. Hopefully it's just a matter of protecting the arm, not cleaning hte arm.
