	Yankee  +  452615 Thu, 13 Dec 07 02:12 AM Hi Angliholic The expression "you are at risk of" is very often followed by a disease or a word such as developing or contracting. The expression "you are in danger of" is usually followed by a gerund: - losing your home - failing - having your identity stolen If you live in Taipei, you are in danger of being injured or killed during an earthquake. EDIT: Oops, MM posted while I was typing.  As you may have guessed from my post, I was a bit reluctant to simply say "Yes".  That's why I tried to give you what I thought sounded more typical.
