Today finds me weakened and ill, a victim of a “cold,” or rhinovirus. It seems that most people in my life have this adorable little organism dancing a jig in their bodies. And if you don’t find it adorable, you have to at least admit it is aesthetically appealing on some level. Green and blue and brown like a miniature planet Earth. Here it is:
The little blue stars and green triangles make it look almost friendly. Regardless of appearances, however, this little fucker sailed up my nose (or one of his 100 cousins), landed on a healthy cell, and went to town.
Ever so gently, and with loving receptors, the cold virus made my immune system look stupid as my defensive dendritic cells helplessly let my fat face get invaded. Once it gets out to the other viruses that infecting me is a cake walk it’s going to be a sad state of affairs.
More later, dear readers.
