Amazing talk … Thank you Dr. Racaniello and Dr. Silverstein !!!
I can relate to the rabies virus incidents in India and the problem of stray dogs, being from India. I had a friend who got bitten by rabid dog on neck. He had took 15 injections from physician. Now I understand it's severity since it is spot very close to brain and CNS. 500 rupees is around $10 but still quite high price to immunize a dog in the country.
I am studying herpesvirus at Geogia State University and I am equally amazed about them. I have been wondering about the herpesvirus entry which is extremely complicated and challenging. I hope to find some insights into it.
Hope to hear more from Dr.Silverstein and herpes.
Thank you,
Pritesh
Painful subject pleasurably done…thanks
I learned I had herpes type 2 about four years ago, when I was in college and had a moronic one night affair. I think some girls say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing. I jus made an error that one time and, straightaway, it looked like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The awful part was feeling I would never date someone else again. After all, who wants to be intimate with a lady who has blisters around her you-know-what? But after somebody told me about this video https://herpessimplexrtherpes.wordpress.com/icv/ , everything has changed. Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than fifteen days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my kindred soul and I’m so blessed to write that just last week, in front of many people in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.
