NATURE DOCTOR – A HELPFUL ILLUSTRATION (VIRUS)

The virus, my virologist friend explained, could be seen as a villain who has been thrown out of the house itself but has stayed on the veranda. As soon as the circumstances in the house change – or the body’s overall condition deteriorates again – the villain is there ready to slip into the house to cause havoc once more. This illustration reminded me of something that once happened in our own house. A family of sables climbed from the trees into the attic, where they created an awful racket. What could I do but have some of the trees near the roof cut down, and close up every hole through which they could possibly enter. A few years later, however, a creeping plant grew up the wall unnoticed, giving the sables the chance to climb in and become a nuisance yet again. Once more we had to block everything up, but this time we got rid of them for good because we made sure there were no openings left anywhere.
