World of hurt/infection
Hi
Ignoring your body’s warnings could lead to a world of hurt: chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia,
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis (A, B, or C) ... etc.
1. I understand that the world of hurt simply means "many different ailments"?
2. It doesn't say "infection of Epstein-Barr virus" but just "Epstein-Barr virus" however I think this is what the author implies, i.e. infection?
