Interesting. I wonder if it would still be accurate after a person has had a SCT.

'Sposed to be a fair amount of West Nile Virus around the US, due to a wet May-June.

My own exposure was in 2006 ( contracted West Nile) ....and I began multiple myeloma symptoms in 2008.
Not sure that I buy off on Viral loads triggering cancer--but cancer is certainly odd and variable stuff.

Wear bug repellant this Summer. West Nile was a drag to get over. Took 6 weeks.+/-
Wonder what effect the anti-virals truly have on things like this ?
