I read that book too. First book I ever bought for a long train ride...
Yeah, I've been a germophobe ever since. I have UV lights all around, and can be sealed up in my house if something does spread like the flu.
If you've ever seen the show Regenesis, they talk about a human version of Mad Cow disease. That is really scary. You eat infected meat, eggs or vaccines, you can pass it through blood donations and other bodily fluid exchanges. And in 7 years, the prions eat holes in your brain. There is no test for it until after you are dead.
