	       If you were not under the influnece of strong toxins
	       (anesthetics) I'd suggest you re-read that microbiology
	       text.   Its always the obvious that trips us up.
	       Polio vaccine = protection against polio *bacteria* ???
	       I think NOT.   Polio is a virus.
	       I'm sure that since typing the above, you've remembered that
	       vaccines can be for bacteria OR viruses.
	As for getting over the the anesthetic, I reccomend lots of fresh
	air, plenty of fluids to help flush out the residual toxins.  Don't
	drink any alcohol or take any downers - prescribed or herbal.
	And if you come to San Francisco, you could smoke some legal
	medical marijuana to ease you through the course of your recovery
	Happy holidaze,
	Ty
