I know it looks like 广　(まだれ), but it's quite distinct. Yamaidare is always used for sickness, disease, bad stuff. Just look at Jim Breen's page full of kanji with the yamaidare radical: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1S
It reads like a doctor's questionnaire: carbuncle, colic, wart, measles, "scabby eruption"?(!)

The other part of this kanji isn't as interesting: the マ variant of 人 on top of the kanji for business. The kanji alone (甬) means narrow road with walls on the sides. Trapped in pain, I guess?

Just remember, whenever you see this:

watch out!
