Um. I've never had mono

[muck_a_luck]

So, Tanya, one of Jaffe's paralegals, was in working yesterday while running a fever. Spreading her, as of then unidentified germs around the office.

Last night she was diagnosed by her doctor as having either, a) mono or b) severe strep throat.

The doctor warned her that she was *extremely* contagious. He actually instructed her to SEND HER CHILD AWAY to her mother's, she is so ill.

Um. I've never had mono. @#*$&#*@^$#@#$!!!!

We have made a lame attempt to clean the photocopier. The Jaffes have wiped down the phones. I am gonna be really, really pissed if I get mono. Really. Can't emphasize that enough.

Mono is *not* something you build an immunity to like chicken pox. It comes and goes when it will.

It's also not something you will typically ever get past the age of say, 25. I thought I had it last year, the doctor laughed at me. "You're 30. almost impossible to have it."

I dunno if that makes it impossible for you to be a *carrier*, though.

Wash your hands!

*is suspicious*

Good to know. And Tanya is about 23. But yes, much hand washing is in order... :)

Right, but how old are *you*.

*rolls eyes*

I was acknowledging that *she* was within the age range. We both know that I should be even less likely to catch it than you. :p
