If it makes you feel any better its about the same percentage of time (comparing lifetime vs time having sex) for humans and Crustose Coralline Red Algae.
On the other hand if it's the red algae from an algal bloom ("red tide") then they are still having sex about 1hr 59 mins 56 secs after they have died.
@AthronofEryndor: Until one of them has absorbed 20 or 30 of the others and then escapes and the show is suddenly "canceled", a spate of news reports of "unknown deaths" start happening around where the show was being filmed, roads are blocked, phone calls are jammed and the military presence starts getting scary and you know what happens next .....
By the time there are bacteria or parasites in your blood, you're going to be sick enough to need to be in a hospital already. Septicemia is not a fun thing at all. And if a hospital can afford a new-fangled cellphone attachment and the fluorescent tags, I think they could already afford a basic microscope.
@icelight: That's not necessarily true. First of all, you may be sick but without access to any diagnostic equipment. That's where this CellScope comes in. Second, as these researchers explained, this device is a lot cheaper than comparable microscopes, and it is portable. So researchers in the field could diagnose people and administer medicine without having to bring people possibly hundreds of miles to a hospital.
@braak: Just think - you could be checking for them ALL THE TIME. On the bus, in the movie theater, at restaurants - all the places where you like to use your cell phone!
@RandomFrequentFlierDent: it's less akward then telling them you belive them but you still need to see a clean STD exam before you go bareback. trust me.
@RenRen: Yeah sorry about that super glue. We were expecting some one else to look through it first. You may want to avoid the restrooms on the second floor for a while.

I keep having these light-headed spells, and I really need a way to check for blood parasites.
