when a particular person comes in contact with a hood rat, (such as Tara, Bobbi, Rachel, and/or Betsy)...meow...may begin to experience redness in hive-like designs on the arms and/or legs, followed by a severe projectile diarrea...(in which may be used in finger painting and such crafts... i.e. Sunday school. This infection will last between 2 weeks and 4 years. good luck
