OP note reinfection is possible if exposed to the parasite again.

Are you changing your habits because of this and I'm not just talking about washing vegetables and avoiding buffets?

I heard diarrhea can be hereditary... Because it runs in your jeans 👖

I’m swearing off fruits and vegetables.  I’m going to limit my consumption to meat and bourbon.

No rimming lettuce eaters until further notice. 
Doxy isn’t effective.

I won’t be dying for a salad anytime soon. My immediate future portends nothing shredded.

No pinching from the swear jar for premium.

As a home cook for at least 6 nights/wk it's easy enough to choose veggies in the store that can be cooked. If I were still working and eating out more often, I would have problems in choosing what to eat.

Isn’t that why similar garments with shoulder straps to support the additional weight were named dungarees?

Extra strength formulation for the VOLCANO QUESARITO.

Reports tonight they have located the source of the Taco Bell lettuce causing the diarrhea. Mexican iceberg lettuce which is shredded and added to the tacos. Only one exporter involved.

There have been plenty of sudden exporters into toilets thanks to them.

Talk about the power of suggestion: all I did was read the title of this topic, and I immediately had to race to the bathroom so fast that I tripped on the cord to my computer.

When every F-bomb funds a subsequent artisanal maple-bacon donut with Old Fashioned chaser you’ve turned profanity into a balanced budget but unbalanced diet. Eventually the swear jar may file for tax deductions based on cardiovascular research charitable status.

Yet evidence of another serious pandemic-grade proverbial “sh*t happens” comeback with swarming of Costco aisles so far remains anything but a solid No. 2.

Map: ‘Explosive diarrhea’ parasite outbreak by state

 

[Luv2play]

Latest reports are that the suspected source of the illness may have been a false positive. There seems to be confusion at the FDA. This pathogen was dropped from surveillance in budget cuts last year. Are here we are.
