It is suspected that it is spread by cockroaches. Now, that is too awfully scary. Here we were checking passengers that were coming in from epidemic stricken areas for signs of the disease, and what do you want to bet that no one was checking the cockroaches that came along for the ride? I have always suspected that when we go back to the moon, we find the moon to be infested with cockroaches, the descendants of some who hitchhiked on those previous missions. Cockroaches seem to be able to so quickly adapt for life in any environment, which I suspect they found a way to survive on moon dust. I bet they will be awaiting us when we return.
