Apologies if this topic is posted elsewhere. I don't frequent the forums enough.

Just noticed this one for the last hour of Crystal Ball.

The word last hour was bacteriemia.

- transient presence of bacteria (or other microorganisms) in the blood

No one guessed it.


Yeah, no one guessed it because it's spelled wrong. The word is bacteremia. =)

yea, I missed it as well. It wasn't in the dictionary I used

It all depends on what dictionary Terry has chosen for CB. This one has it:

I stand corrected! =)

Suppose next time I run a Google search, I should at least hop onto page 2. Everything on page 1 was either suggesting misspelling or in Spanish.
