My morbid curiousity hasn't diminished as I grow older. In fact, it just becomes all the more overpowering with each passing year. For example, I spent a good 2 hours yesterday reading up on the case of a man with fibromyalgia whose spinal cord was infested with yeast fungus. The yeast would multiply within the column and send spores throughout his body via the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Once the spores settled in the soft tissue of his joints and implant their root-like rhyzomes, his immune system would launch an attack and cause him great pain. Invasion of the body snatchers . . . mwahahahaha!

Sometimes I stare at carrion. I am intrigued by the graceful drama of organic decomposition, it's surreptitious players, acts, and scenes.

And blood. Who can resist a lengthy gander at a festering wound?

by the way, these imbedded links have nothing to do with anything.
