What disease are you?

Regular readers have probably noticed I rarely do quizzes. I'm just lame like that. But this one was a bit too perfect for this site: What disease are you? My results after the jump.

You Are Ebola!

Also known as Hemorrhagic Fever, you are a risk-taker. You love to travel and experience the world. You are not afraid to walk on the wild side, while still being a funny, yet sarcastic person. Being so open-minded, you have been known to shock people, which is a symptom that occurs within one week of being infected. What happens next? A quick and excrutiating death...technicalities.

OK, I cop to the sarcasm and I consider myself pretty open-minded, but I doubt many people I know would characterize me as a risk-taker. I'm far too boring.

I'm 'flu: "Also known as the flu, you are warm, nurturing, and make a great confidante." That's what I tell all the birds. "...you sure can clear out a room with your lame jokes." Uh-hu.

Ebola.

Damn, I was hoping for smallpox or plague, a real megadeath causer that changed history rather than some jumped-up, overpublicized johnny-come-lately virus that's killed less than a few thousand.

On another topic: any recommendations for a lay or accessible introductory text on epidemiology for the curious?
