      I'm rather more worried about whether or not that esteemed customer is buggering off back to Sierra Leone for Xmas, all in all.
      I'd wouldn't worry about him going. Just what he might bring back with him. If he brings you back any bushmeat-in-a-jar™ then it would be acceptable to decline.

          The oriental rat flea carries the bubonic plague after biting an infected rodent and may then pass the disease to a human

              It is, if it's recognised in time.

              Every so often, someone catches it in Colorado because it's a good climate for it, apparently.
