[...] If your child believes that a particular illness is caused by a virus, then suggest a game in which the youngster imagines the virus to be a small bug that he or she triumphantly chases away with a broom, or sweeps out the door. [...]

Earlier I compared your thoughts to viruses (in the last session). [...]

1. According to scientists, viruses are ultramicroscopic units that can cause diseases in plants and animals. [...]

The viruses and infections were, of course, present. [...] You have general immunity, believe it or not, to all such viruses. [...]

[...] Seth hasn’t gone into the ideas as related to insects, say, or birds or the animals—or viruses or bacteria, for that matter—at all, and I’m sure there is a wealth of fascinating information there. [...]

(“Connection with a fall, or something falling,” Both Jane and I felt at once that this referred to my falling ill with the virus, on March 24,1965. Seth discusses the virus episodes that I became involved in, after taking the polio vaccines, in the 243rd session. [...]
