Haha, no, it's pretty easy to get those confused at a quick glance.

We have incubators full of Herpes.

That's what she said!

So I had to come into the lab for a little while yesterday. Since my husband and I were already out, he just tagged along. While I finished up my cell culture work in the other room, he was looking at the shelves of chemicals in the main lab. When I came out he gave me a funny look and asked why we had a bottle of herpes on the shelf. I was a little confused until I realized that he had seen the bottle of HEPES. That reading will get ya every time!
