Feces May be Key in Spreading SARS (EMMA ROSS, 5/04/03, AP)

New scientific findings indicate that feces may be a more important method of spreading the SARS virus than originally thought, the World Health Organization said Sunday.

"That finding is the most disturbing one because it would suggest that fecal-oral transmission could take place," said Stohr, who was not directly involved in the research but coordinates the work of labs around the world investigating the SARS virus.

Wow, who would have thought contact with feces is contra-indicated for humans? Posted by Orrin Judd at May 4, 2003 9:57 PM
