Hey, I would just like to adress some of these points:
1. I don't think airborne transmission like you describe it actually exists, afaik. All transmission is person-to-person. (Except for one case I will mention now.)
2. Food and other things can already be spiked via blood from an infected person into them! Also, all the spreading symptoms pretty much fit into this category. Also, the framework for giving the person that gets infected a message already exists, but it is only used for Fluid Speech, Snaps and Hugs. Perhaps we should add those to every spreading symptom, that sounds like a great idea!
3. Suppressants already mitigate pathogen's symptoms right now, they reduce the stage down to 3, which makes symptoms trigger much less commonly and also much less severely. Judging by the current situation on the server, that might not be enough.
4. There's already been quite a few improvements to the pathology machine usability lately, which I find has increased my enjoyment of making pathogens quite a bit. I am always open to more suggestions for how the interface could be improved, though. Maybe we should remove all those lights where noone is quite sure what they do...
