No problema Rick..fortunately, depending on how you look at it, the bbc news confirms that it was 'hours' after taking the study drug.. <<Within hours of taking it on Monday, the six young volunteers had to be admitted to intensive care.>>> news.bbc.co.uk Weird, this incident took me back many years..it felt so immediate..kept imaging how I'd be doing this, checking for that, wishing my favorite doc/nurses were accessible..I laugh when I see that I gave hope/encouragement to the thread. People here cared but were not family/close friends and we're an investor thread!..The cell's memory is pretty darn neat Elisabeth

According to one of the placebo subjects who was present, the reaction occurred a few seconds after the infusion. They "went down like dominoes", according to Raste Khan, 23, one of two trial volunteers who escaped unscathed after being given a placebo. He told the Sun newspaper: "They began tearing their shirts off complaining of fever, then some screamed out that their heads felt like they were going to explode. "It was terrifying because I kept expecting it to happen to me at any moment. But I felt fine and I didn't know why."..
