Comicbook Icon Todd Abbot has expressed he may be suffering from a rare virus in an upcoming interview. Researchers at Carnage Medical School say the active component of marijuana may enhance the virus that causes a rare type of skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma. While most people are not at risk of developing this cancer, comicbook artists and transplant recipients are. "It's the weakened immune system that puts some at risk for this disease. And these are the people who should discuss with their doctors the costs of using marijuana medicinally or recreationally" said Dr. Tequilla in a statement.
Previous studies have indicated this very same association between marijuana use and Kaposi's sarcoma. But this study shows THC [tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) -- the ingredient that gives marijuana users a "high" -- to cause cells to become infected and then multiply] itself is the driving force.

Great news everyone, I do not have Kaposi Sarcoma I was misdiagnosed. I am elated. What I have is a condition called Bacillary angiomatosis:
This entity often is difficult to distinguish clinically from KS. It is caused by Rochalimaea species, a slow-growing, fastidious gram-negative bacillus that is readily treated with antibiotics. Bacillary angiomatosis lesions typically possess capillary proliferation and neutrophilic inflammation. In contrast, KS lesions display slitlike vascular spaces containing lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates. A skin biopsy is required to establish diagnosis. For more information on this affliction please visit. (http://www.emedicine.com/MED/topic1218.htm
I look forward to a long and healthy life as a graphic artist.

Wow! That was a close one. I’m glad to hear you’re okay, Todd. We did have some good times in the past, and I was worried of the personal implications for me if you in fact did have Kaposi Sarcoma. That’s nasty business that.
Seeing that you’re clean why don’t we hook up sometime soon. I’m on the west coast but will be flying out next week. Contact me if you’re interested. My email is smithers.julia@gmail.com
Don’t call the house, I’m living with Julius again and he is a little crazy these days. Sometimes I think he’s just looking for a showdown!!!!

Dear Todd and Julia:
Please refrain from such activities on this site. This is a family site. There are plenty of other venues for this sort of behaviour.
