cliff notes: Fungal disease, so far killed 5 of 21 known patients... lives on/in trees (?) and can infect many animals as well as humans.

hopefully this is just media sensationalism and it won't actually be a big deal.

 

Eek. Thought this was a joke about hippies but that's pretty freaky. A fatal, mutating fungus.

 

oh noes! it goes after alpacas too.....

 

FUNGUS ON A PLANE!!!

 

or is it fungi?

 

Media sensationalism, as Officer Barbrady would say "Move along, nothing to see here people, nothing at all."

 

I like how they try the scare tactics "It kills X/X people!!!!" but wont tell you where it's been found or places to avoid.

Somehow, I'm not that worried about it

 

This must be devastating for 8D

 

only one way to take care of this problem... cut down all the trees. Take that hippies!

 

Yay, we're all gonna die. H1N1, Bird flu, ebola, hanta, mersa, etc. So many threats out there, it's just another to add to the list.
