Infectious disease visits a fish market

Everybody telling me it’s Pike and not Pike’s. I don’t know if I can adequately convey just how little I care.

“John Pike, a carpenter, was paid with land and the tribute of his own street” Idk kinda sounds like it’s always been John Pike’s Place 🧐

h/t to @giufuliafa for this historical research worthy of an infectious disease specialist.

There’s a gum wall near there too 😅

Heading into Texaco Mike's for a CT...

You didn’t tell the kids about motile aeromonas septicemia. Plesiomonas and erysipelothrix feel left out too.

I actually had erysipelothrix written down, but I had a lot of trouble saying it, so I went with something else

I remember when my dad sat me down to tell me the facts about Cysticercosis. Worst 5th birthday party ever.

Hahahaha! 1985 I made Ceviche for family party in CT - my cuz, head of EM at Hopkins brought his friend who was head of infectious diseases at NIH. ID doc wouldn't eat anything - said only vegetable he trusted were string beans bc of low bacteria (!) I still laugh about this!
