Where Germs Spread
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick (7) is brought down by Cleveland Browns safety Brian Russell (27) in the second half of an NFL football game in Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2006. Russell, used to dishing out hits on the field, had no idea what hit him recently after being downed by a microscopic germ: a staph infection that hospitalized him and threatened to end his season.
