Disease picked up when the impossible happened (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
swine flu
'disease' is the definition.
(swine flu is a disease)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for swine flu that I've seen before include "hazard!" , "Bug" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
