Montezuma's revenge

[Grog]

On the topic of Giardia:

you become immune in the sense that you may not develop the symptoms again (although you also may develop them, it can take a while for them to disappear completely) but you may still carry the disease, and that's not very good, because you could transmit it to others, unless you have 100% foolproof sanitary conditions at your house and everywhere you go, which is probably not the case for most of us (and thank God for that, in a way).

last year with minimal problems. We stayed at a lodge that used to be a cattle farm and had all our food prepared for us. We couldn't reguarly get bottled water and drank unfiltered from the lodge kitchen. I had to use a little immodium but that was all. I'm still not convinced it was the water and not the black beans 3 meals a day for 8 days.
