Darn bugs! A Zika type virus that, instead of shrinking brains, gave ladies Steatopygia would be ok though.

Brain amoeba (ladymuck warning applies)

“ A case of a rare brain-eating amoeba has been confirmed in Florida, according to health officials in the US state.

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) said one person in Hillsborough County had contracted Naegleria fowleri.

The microscopic, single-celled amoeba can cause an infection of the brain, and is usually fatal.

Commonly found in warm freshwater, the amoeba enters the body through the nose.”
