	"Athlete's" is spelled wrong.

	Salmonella enterica serovar typhi would be more appropriate

Comment below threshold: show it

	Food poisoning really isn't that appropriate an answer. Pretty much anything you get from eating food contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms is food poisoning. 0157:H7 is an enteric hemmorrhager

	Agree that food poisoning is an inappropriate answer. Salmonella typhimurium causes enteritis, and it basically S. enterica, just a different serotype. It's a bit weird that you specified the serovar for typhoid fever but not for Salmonella typhimurium. Also, you really need to accept 'thrush' or 'candidiasis' for 'yeast infection'. Actually, most of these answers are really obvious. Not all bacterial and viral strains have such obvious name.

	Agreed that 'thrush' should be accepted for candida. Also 'oral herpes' should be accepted for hsv-1

	Could you please accept "oral herpes" for cold sore?

	Tinea pedis and tinea cruris are descriptive of the infection, they are not names of microorganisms.

	balakalak:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 16:09 GMT		2 points
	Agree with claymaker... tinea cruris just indicates a fungal infection of the skinfolds... i think it is still called that if its in the armpit?, accept TB for tuberculosis and group A strep also causes impetigo and a few other things so alternatives might help. But all that rubbish aside ... loved the quiz; well done!

	You should accept just "Lyme" without having to add disease at the end

	Also, I agree that "Food poisoning" is not a very good answer. I was frustrated trying dysentery, HUS, etc. because food poisoning didn't seem specific enough

	Great quiz, surprised it hasn't gone viral on the site! ;-)
