TtC, so tuberculosis isn't contagious... who knew? Actually, a disease is contagious if it's passed on by direct or indirect contact such as inhalation (such as tuberculosis) or ingestion (such as hepatitis A).

Tom, I'm sorry, but I don't understand why seeing someone else has a disease means you don't have it.

Here's a question: 'the abbot returns to find that all the infected monks killed themselves'--how did the abbot know which monks had been infected when they didn't have any red dots while he was there? How did he know that a few uninfected guys didn't jump off the roof too? Or did they just blow the place up and ALL die at the same time?

Fogie, find the person who asked this and do whatever is needed to get him to tell you the answer.
