Don't Touch That Doorknob!: How Germs Can Zap You and How You Can Zap Back, Warner Books, Publisher, publication date, October 1, 2001 was written by me and Edited by Dinah Dunn of Byron Preiss Visual Publications, New York and Jackie Merri Meyer of Warner Books. Available on-line and at bookstores, the book provides information on microorganisms associated with foodborne illness, colds and flu, day care, hospitals, travel, pets, home, work and those that may be used as an agent for biological warfare.

All of the "Feature Articles," and the articles in "What the Heck is...???" and in "General Interest" were written by me, and therefore, any mistakes are mine, alone. I have tried to be as accurate as possible within the limits of providing the information in a "reader-friendly" format. Therefore, please forgive any latitude I have taken with the pure science discussed. With these caveats in mind: in keeping with the spirit of the "Web" and Internet, and the fact that this institution has been established for, and is devoted to, learning, all of the articles on these Pages are for anyone's use, as long as the use is for non-profit only, and this statement accompanies any copies.
