Arney and AKSAR; thanks, that clarifies a lot about the sequence of the disease, especially the editorial from The New England Journal of Medicine.

This pretty much sums up where I am at now. I've had the same experiences with humans as Montanero. Besides simple honesty, there is the psychological problem of "denial" when they first get a temperature rise or begin to feel ill.

As someone else pointed out, the quote from Dr. House applies "Everyone lies."
