Infections
Everything on this site about infectious illness, gathered in one place: over 70 infectious diseases from the common cold to sepsis, plus profile pages for the organisms themselves — 36 bacteria and 35 parasites, each covering how it spreads, the illness it causes, how it is diagnosed, and the honest state of both conventional and natural treatment. Two doors into the same library: start from the illness if you have a diagnosis or symptoms, or from the organism if a test result or news story named the bug.
