victims of new viruses?

[Jeffrey R. Henig]

Do you know anyone who's been a victim of any of the new diseases we're 
hearing about -- Hantavirus, "flesh eating bacteria," dengue fever, 
antibiotic-resistant infections?  If so, please send me an e-mail 
directly (NOT through the Newsgroup) if you're willing to be interviewed 
for an article for a woman's magazine.  I'm an experienced medical writer 
-- I wrote a book recently about new viruses -- and the magazine I'm 
doing this for is called First for Women.  I can assure confidientiality, 
or I can use names.

In your message, please tell me a little about your bout with the new 
bug, and include your phone number and the best time to call you for a 
half-hour phone interview.

Thanks for whatever leads you can give me!  Robin Marantz Henig,
