This reminds me of history how the Indians were wiped out by blankets given to them from people who died from some disease. Was it typhoid or small pox? Anyway they were not immune having a disease-free life. In the story It is understandable how the aliens were terrified of a sickness they didnt understand. He was being selfish and flippant by not considering their risk. How can he know they can't get it? On the other hand, they did take precautions to help themselves, treating him like a science project. I sympathized with him then. Did they bring him chicken soup, kleenex, Vicks or hot tea? This story gave me a nightmare.😮
The almost cure for a cold is 2 cans of chicken soup one can of tuna and garlic powder cooked up together and eaten. Sounds nasty but I have it when ever I have a sore throat or a cold coming on . shortins a cold 😊❤
Um, you typically DON'T have a fever during a cold... and yes, Grandma's Chicken Soup is just the thing to fix him up - with lots of onion and garlic in it.
I always side with the alien medics in these stories. Eric had a lot of time for a lot of rest and fluid. Wonder how the alien medics would react if they knew a cold could sometimes turn into something worse? George Washington died of a cold that turned into pneumonia.
Well, at least the aliens didn’t throw him out of the airlock. LOL

@@rebelbecky276 It was smallpox. Understandable how the aliens were afraid its mutations might jump species.

@@Mancave5000 tuna has that omega 3 in it. So do eggs.

If this was a cultural exchange then the aliens should have been provided medical data. They would know better.

Yep.
