Error-Ridden,

This review is from: 101 Diseases You Don't Want to Get (Paperback)
Full of errors -- within the first few entries it states that 22 people died of Anthrax in the 2001 outbreak (22 people contracted Anthrax, 5 died) and that only 12 documented cases of blastomycosis have occurred in the U.S. (don't know the exact number, but it's in the hundreds, at least.) Also, the photos are unlabeled and I'm pretty sure sometimes attached to the wrong disease. Disappointing.

This review is from: 101 Diseases You Don't Want to Get (Paperback)
Purchased it for my daughter, a high school student. It is a great book for people interested in various diseases you really don't want to get

Interesting Idea, but Falls very short given the diseases it lists....,

This review is from: 101 Diseases You Don't Want to Get (Paperback)
How can this book even be taken seriously when it leaves out such diseases as Huntington's and Lou Gerics, but has something as mild as children's "Fifth Disease" listed, which is simply a mild rash? Also I have to agree with last poster, there was NOT 22 deaths due to anthrax in the USA on one given occasion-which I also read. This book was thrown together quickly with little research.
