Answer to Question 1

Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia caused by a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium called Legionella pneumophilia that is widely distributed in the environment. The organism thrives in moist places, and people become infected by inhaling airborne organisms in aerosolized water droplets.

Answer to Question 2

Thalidomide: used in the 1960s to treat nausea and vomiting; can cause malformation of the upper or lower limbs
Heroin, methadone, and cocaine: congenital malformations in fetus with development of narcotic withdrawal symptoms a few days following delivery
Tetracycline: yellowish discoloration of the enamel
