but for the next few weeks hop in and enjoy the ride. i am happy to report total success! i think of it as “white death”. the treatment is the same as it is for most viral infections: rest, fluids and fever control. even a small drip or leak in a pipe or faucet can easily cause several thousand dollars’ worth of damage in a short period of time. i read this article last night and thought is was quite a fitting summary as well as a nice recipe. best with steaming warm rice, sauce and all.
