Traveler's Diarrhea, or TD in polite company. It's a common phenomenon, and I had a run in with it in the Philippines, accompanied with nausea and a fever. I decided to visit a local clinic so I could move on with my vacation and enjoy the beach. This "clinic" was a run down wooden shack-like building on the main road in town. Under any other circumstances, I would have walked away, but I really just wanted something to make me better, and my options on the island were limited. The doctor prescribed a few things. I took them and was better in just 24 hours. I decided to stop taking the pills until I could look them up online to see what they were. All I could find was that they are not used in the United States, and when they are, they are only used as livestock antibiotics. Wonderful. It looks as if I'll have no bacteria in my intestines, good or bad, for a long time.

Maybe that explains the intestinal woes of a certain person we know? I hope not...otherwise, you're in trouble!

Haha, it hasn't gotten that bad yet. I haven't had to race home to change clothes.
