Faces Caving In??!!!

Someone giving us our med brief mentioned something about biting flies causing people's faces to cave in, what in the hell were they talking about?? I have never heard that before.

They're trying to scare you into washing your hands.

Did you actually listen to the briefing or just look at the pictures? I have a hunch there was a little more information given on this particular topic in the briefing.

Here you go A6. Btw- I have a copy of the powerpoint presentation you might have viewed. It is 11mb so I couldn't post it in this thread. I took the info out of it and put it in a condensed form in this thread.
