Cryptosporidium Fensoni

One little mistake, one lax moment of focus, if I’m not careful this age exploring will kill me. Tests came back which showed a mutant form of protozoa, luckily for me not lethal. Got the doctor looking at me funny, should have seen his face. I did tell him he wouldn’t believe me. I think he wanted me to wear one of those “one size fits all” jackets. He did go on to say that this protozoa was similar to the parasitical form of Cryptosporidium but strangely different. Nasty little blighters! I had the water form Fens tested privately. I have it on good authority that all dangerous samples are destroyed. Well there are other explorers out there looking for new medicines, new technology and new foods. I just want to make sure it goes to the right people so it is not misused. I wouldn’t like to be responsible for wiping out the human race. It doesn’t look good on the CV.

Yep it came from Fens. So please don’t drink the water. Boil for fifteen minutes or use a high quality travelling water filter. I think I picked mine up from hand to mouth. It could have been on my clothes, drinking vessel or the bamboo poles. From now on I am going to link back to Relto for refreshments. Plus I need some gloves.

I have missed a lot these passed weeks. I see more new ages have been released with some not finished yet. I did have to go in a take some pictures. Some explorers don’t realise I am only a messenger. I don’t mind really. It is a good excuse to get away for a few hours without exhausting myself.

I wonder what the D’ni survivors think about us writing ages. But do they know? If they are like Atrus then I would suspect they wouldn’t mind. Just cautious of the enormous responsibilities connected with writing ages, especially if the ages are inhabited. We don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past. - Both D’ni and human alike: Paragon of animals indeed.

Wow! I went off track there. Don’t know where that came from. As soon as I am fit I will finish off my Fens project. I have lost a few pounds due to the illness and just before Christmas. - Time to fatten up again. Well that is my excuse and I’m sticking with it. I have a lot MORE ages and journals to catch up on.
