Thread: if you where an e coli

hi guys

I was given this question in class and thought it would be a good idear to bring it up here because its quite fun.

game: kill someone as a bacteria

rules:
you are not aloud to change into a virus you can only do bacteria stuff
you can change your bacteria to do what ever you want (in the limits of bacteria) so for eg. It can become air born (from coughing)
you can not stop the acid in our bellies and how do you get past the white blood cells
you also have to come up with the way that the person got infected

anyways i thought it would be funny to see some of the responses to this question

Hi. My name is Cholera. I'm a nasty little bacteria. I would sneak in through water contaminated with fecal matter. Once inside your intestinal tract I would then release my toxin. My toxin, which is an enzyme, would change the shape of one of your G-Proteins therefore changing it's function. It would be locked in it's active state and continuously drive the cell to respond by creating mass amounts of cyclic AMP!! MUAHAHAHAHAHHA! Then, the cyclic AMP would cause the cell to release OBSCENE quantities of water and salt into your intestinal tract, causing PROFUSE diarrhea! Then you shall soon die of dehydration, but not before the diarrhea becomes so bad that it no longer comes out in a jet stream of liquid. It now shoots out as an airborne mist, like the blowhole of a humpback whale, that is able to travel great distances. Many more soon breathe deep and inhale me. ENJOY YOUR DRINKING WATER!

I couldn't think of much ...pwahahhah!

that was very well played i think you win if no one else plays
