That's a nasty one, all right, and I'm glad you didn't post links. I first heard about it from an untrue urban legend claiming that you could get it from imported bananas. Urban legend researchers noted that the story was false (so it's okay to eat bananas unless you're allergic), but the actual disease, unfortunately, was all too real.
