| | Probably the most effective means of prevention, should that be necessary, is to wash any broken skin after contact with a cat and to avoid rough play with kittens. | | | This same organism can result in several other conditions in man such as, bacillary angiomatosis, bacillary peliosis, and relapsing bacteremia. | | | The biggest threat in man appears to be in the immunocompromised individuals for which the organism can be fatal. |

| | Vashanna's children represent slavery and the relinquishment of responsibility for oneself; the councilwoman's child represents sacrifice, freedom, and future. | | | Also, as a parent, I really disliked the treatment of children in the story. | | | Our hero turns out to be pretty tough, and ends up needing to be as the story takes some pretty wild, unexpected, and definitely dangerous turns. |
