Re: how to post a pic

Excellent post.

It's also a good idea to avoid public natural water fountains, be careful when swimming in recreational water and very careful with restaurants. It's also probably better to avoid eating uncooked foods from restaurants if you really must eat at a restaurant.

This is common knowledge in some "3rd world"/developing countries (in my experience) but for some reason people in more developed countries think they are immune to parasites.

I have seen people in developing countries refuse soda because they didn't trust the source of water for the ice cubes in a restaurant!

I have heard people in USA say "we don't have parasites here" and the irony is that I got infected in USA.

I would avoid raw milk unless you own the cow and if you happen to have a protozoa like Giardia, lactose can make your life much more miserable. Search for "Giardia lactose intolerance" for more info. Tweet
