5. I guess because it is non-fiction.

The author and several of the team members were infected with leishmaniasis, a parasitic protozoan disease transmitted to mammals by sand fly bites. Mr. Preston believes that global climate change is causing diseases like this to enter our country. There have been cases in Texas but the worrisome ones were in Oklahoma. Two people were infected in a small Oklahoma community who did not travel outside their region much less to the tropics. We worry about rising sea levels and increased violent weather but the migration of disease organisms may be the one that affects us the worst.

I won't post images of leishmaniasis. If you have a strong stomach do a search.
