Bagged and Tagged

PlagueBlog was recently upgraded to the new Google Blogger, which made it possible to label all previous posts by disease. Not surprisingly, flu came out first, while Marburg, the eponymous plague, and the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) all made a respectable showing.

On the lighter side, there are some non-disease-specific categories: PlagueFun, don't try this at home (formerly known as the Don't Kiss the Chickens department), paging Dr. Frankenstein (a.k.a., don't resurrect the Spanish Flu in your BSL 3 lab just because you can), and PlagueBlog recommends (...cooking the blood of your H5N1-infected poultry before drinking it to protest your government's half-hearted attempts to stamp out bird flu, for example).
