Too funny Bunny. 
Everyone will need to just stay away from digging up unearthed Maya tombs. Even though I'm kind of a health policy wonk by day, the most interesting part of the book wasn't the outbreak...it was learing the Maya approach to science and medicine. The book reminded me of a Dan Brown book.
Anybody have a good book recommendation? I've heard that the "Forest of the Kings" was a good read about the Maya.
