[pct-l] Catra's PCT experience turns me into a true believer

Are you sure she got it from the water? Not from touching another

Roughly one in 20 Americans are already infected before they start. (
between 4-7%)

So . Pretty good odds of contact. Remove hand washing...... and......
you get the picture
