I noticed that a new program entitled "Alexander the Great's Mysterious Death" on the Discovery Channel has put forward the hypothesis that Alexander died from an accidental overdose of hellebore, a poisonous plant used to induced vomiting in ancientimes. Back in 1998, however, a group of doctors gathered for a clinical pathology conference at the University of Maryland Medical Center expressed their belief that Alexander was killed by an intestinal bug: Alexander the Great, who ruled much of the ancient world until his death in 323 BC, was conquered at age 32 not by an enemy, but possibly by a tiny intestinal bug. In an analysis based on available historical records, physicians at the University of Maryland Medical Center believe that Alexander was the victim of typhoid fever. Their analysis, titled, "A Mysterious Death," is published in the June 11 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The most popular theories among historians previously have been that Alexander was poisoned or had died of malaria. In the week before he died, historical accounts say Alexander the Great had chills, sweats, exhaustion and high fever, all of which are typical symptoms of certain infectious diseases, including typhoid fever. "He was also described as having severe abdominal pain, causing him to cry out in agony," says David W. Oldach, an infectious disease expert at the University of Maryland Medical Center and lead author of the article. "That was an important clue, because ...

Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries with 150 million people, 49 percent of whom live below the national poverty line. In addition, child malnutrition rates of 48 percent are the second highest in the world, a condition that is tied to the low social status of women in Bangladeshi society. Major infectious diseases: degree of risk: high food or waterborne diseases: bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A and E, and typhoid fever vectorborne diseases: dengue fever and malaria are high risks in some locations water contact disease: leptospirosis animal contact disease: rabies note: highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza has been identified in this country; it poses a negligible risk with extremely rare cases possible among US citizens who have close contact with birds (2009) Can Bengladesh survive as an Independent Nation? yes it can. Why not? Bangladesh has been surviving for last 36 years. It will exist another billion years. I have no doubt in it. I can ensure every Bengali that India will never ever take your land.

Frank McCourt: I had typhoid. Yeah, because there was a lavatory that we all shared in this lane. All the families came and emptied their buckets. They used the bucket in the house, in the bedroom, for everything, and then emptied it into this lavatory. And it would overflow and there was waste, dirt, pee, piss, excrement everywhere. Flies, rats, everything coming to -- were attracted to this lavatory. And our door would be open and our door was catty corner with the door of this lavatory. We could hear them coming. We'd say, "Oh, God, shut the door. Shut the door. Bonnie Sexton is coming with her bucket." And she had the worst bucket in the lane. We became connoisseurs of the stink. So the flies would go in there, and they'd come in and they'd settle on the sugar bowl that we had. When we had jam, they'd be lapping at the jam, and I got typhoid fever out of it. And in those days they didn't have the medicines, or if they had them they weren't available to the likes of me. So I spent three-and-a-half months in the hospital in the summer, which nearly killed me. If you're going to get sick, when you're a kid, you want to be sick during the school year. I was very bitter to have to spend the summer in the hospital: June, July, August, September and into the middle of October
