If he's just listing what he knows, rather than giving an actual diagnosis, it's not that bad. He might be saying that he doesn't know what's causing the decomposition, only that the symptom is similar to that of the flesh-eating virus and the treatment (not his, of course, but The Brain's) is antibiotic (and appears to be working). That's the "No-Prize" explaination, anyway. The other is that "flesh-eating virus" sounds scarier than "flesh-eating bacteria," though honestly "flesh-eating" is the key here. "Flesh-eating socks" would be pretty scary too. Hmmm… depends on what Shift means by “like a mild form of the flesh-eating virus”.
