What's the diagnosis, Q?

For once in your life, you are completely asymptomatic. The sun is shining, that damn bird won't shut up and you find yourself skipping to work (is excessive joy a symptom?). Then, you lick the secretary's phone for a practical joke. Two days later, she has night chills, a fever of 105, enlarged spleen, pneumonitis, endocarditis, diarrhea, nausea, and myalgia. Turns out, you were a vessel for an incubating virus. You got cheated from infection of a disease named straight out of James Bond. Life just isn't fair, is it?

Congratulations! You have Q Fever.

Tip of the day: Lock yourself in a dark closet, bemoaning your fate.
