I am reading a very riveting book called, 'The Demon in the Freezer' that
is truly amazing and scary as hell because it is all true.  It deals with
small pox and I never realized so many living creatures on the face of
this planet carried poxes.  There is everything from grasshopperpox to
camelpox as well as the dreaded small pox.  Are there any virus buffs out
there on the FML that could tell me if there is a ferretpox?  Everything
else has it and I mean EVERYTHING so I figure maybe ferrets do too.  What
an incideous and horrifying virus but fascinating too.  Any virologists
out there on the FML??
