While the patient feels no more than slightly unwell, at the cellular
level dramatic activity is taking place.  White blood cells prowl the
bloodstream, sampling the strange bacteria and blindly preparing an
automatic but devastating response that will ultimately destroy them.
For several days yet, the bacteria will grow and multiply, but the die
is now cast, and soon the bodily environment will have changed in a way
that makes it impossible for them to survive...
