The last edit from 203.36.44.13 (replacing the entire article) sounds like a copyviolation. Can the author come out and state that there's no copyright violation involved? Thanks. Alex.tan 06:00, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Question/challenge regarding reference to "Cabin Fever" movie

Can it be confirmed that the movie actually is intended to depict necrotizing fasciitis (NF), specifically, rather than just some NF-like virus or bacteria? Having a hard time documenting that in searching interviews with the director (Eli Roth) online; also, the movie's official site refers to it as a virus, and NF is actually a bacterial disease. (I'm a survivor of the disease myself, so am hoping to not add to some of the hysteria and hyperbole surrounding it; but, if that was the movie's/director's intent, so be it, though I'd lean toward referring to the movie as portraying a similar type of affliction [albeit sensationally].) Thanks; relatively new WP user here, so apologies if I'm out of line in any way.

Thanks for you comments, I changed the sentence to:

A fictional virus with symptoms like necrotizing fasciitis featured in the modern horror classic Cabin Fever.

Thanks much. I can live with that; the real thing's bad enough, trust me.  :-) --Mattsen 06:45, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mortality

This article states the mortality rate from infection as both 25% and 20%. Please clarify. --Outlander 21:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC) haha, that was my question too. --Mtxoracle 22:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Is Hart's grandson and Roy's mother known enough to be included amongst the list of victims?
