  5. For a couple hundred bucks, I could acquire a used PCR Thermocycler and the necessary reagents to amplify the DNA from a single hair bulb or the rim of a coffee cup.

    Drop you out on the savanna with nothing but the clothes on your back, those Africans would probably deem you pretty stupid. Remember vaccination was practiced in Africa long before it was "discovered" by Jenner and Pasteur.
