I also have to disagree with you, amber. FF has had e coli poisoning and I can assure you she did not gulp down a turd to get it. She ate some mexican food that had been prepared by a cook that had failed to properly maintain a healthy workplace hygeine.

And, yes, Kallie is right. Bacteria are a lot different from alcohol. A 20 ml vial of some of the more malevolent bacteria or virii could devastate the population of a major metropolitan city. That about the same as one tablespoon.

Bacteria, unlike alcohol, do not have to be consumed in quantity to be effective. They'll just reproduce to a level that will eventually cause sickness and disease. No further exposure is required.

And, you're right, there are a lot of dangerous things in BDSM, or in the world in general. That's why you steer clear of them unless you know damned sure what you're doing.

After all, would you just strap on a parachute and hop out of a plane at 15,000 feet without a lesson first?
