I have a friend in Maryland who got it. It did not kill her but she has to live with the symptoms. It does not just go away once you get it.

It's odd. It can be innocuous, moderately unpleasant, really unpleasant...or deadly.

I understand that the incidence of the strain that attacks the nervous system, invariably resulting in death, is somewhat higher in the USA. Could this be the manifestation of Hussein's CBW crew's tinkering?

I don't know.

A 30-something friend of ours from church had it some five or six years ago, and while she was able to battle it off (she was otherwise in excellent shape), she had some lingering problems. She then went to an oriental acupuncturist, and said his treatments brought her back to full swing. But it originally hit her like a ton of bricks, and she was in the emergency ward within an hour or so of falling ill.
