Epidemiology class. Talking about modes of transmission for disease. The prof asked us to give her examples for each type, so we did.
Sexual? Herpes.
Birth process? HIV.
Food? E. Coli.
Touching? COOTIES!
After the whole class finished snickering, she asked for a "real" example and the guy next to me protested that cooties IS a real threat. Yes, we are friends. Obviously.
Then we started arguing about how if vectors are living animals, are they still vectors when they die? For example, if a raccoon is carrying rabies, and it dies, and then you make soup out of it, will you get rabies from dead raccoon soup?
...yeah. I don't know either.
