There's a fine line between suicide and suicidal.

I hope you didn't think I was criticizing the decision to post the picture. I wasn't. My apologies if you thought otherwise.

I was just commenting on my reaction to the photo.

And you're right. I'll think twice about what I eat in foreign lands.

Perhaps stories like these are part of the vaunted "CortiSlim® Lifestyle"?

Nope--prolly not what happened. You first have to GET it, and that would have been when he was south of the border. The USDA would be very busy down there...

[aShepard]

Pig feces on vegetables.!

Sounds like a plan for Baghdad,
wipe out the ragheads, save the virgins!

Would you like some more hummus?

[Rebelbase]

Here's one for you.

He's dead Jim.

Hard to get nuance on a thread, so I assumed you were not happy with my post. I hope I didn't sound TOO defensive.

Thanks for the clarification. And, trichinosis is the muscle disease you can get from undercooked pork.

The reason that these things are rarely generated in the US is that there are now very few private farms that produce meat as a hobby. When I was in residency, we had a case of trichinosis in a family from undercooked pork, but the pig was raised by hobbyists who did not know the USDA rules and did not have vetinary checks.

Quick, someone call SG-1; a Goa'uld maybe on the lose

My brother-in-law is a CPA and considers himself a "professional" above all other matters. He's also a liberal. So, the human thing is debatable. ;)

Another reason the thank GWB II for cracking down in this problem (OH wait, he doesn't want to crack down on them. He wants to give them amnesty

Uh suppodedly the guy ate the infected meat in Mexico.

I have doubts about this story, since millions of Americans visit Mexico and never get sick.

That said it is not impossible, just like when Americans died from American meat tainted with e coli, but what the hey, you can't let a knee jerk anti-Mexican, anti-Bush rant go.

It's from Pink Floyd on "The Wall" cd...I can't remember the name of the song though.

He was a governmental financial officer, with access to public funds.

His end was bizzare.

Wonder what will come out when the audit is performed?

[cyborg]

LOL!!

[rabidralph]

I think you posted something similar during a real thread on a woman who had eaten a taco in Mexico. You're doing us a real public service.

[magslinger]

I'm trying to remember where those lines are from but my mind has hit a wall.

LOL Dark Side of the Moon came way before The Wall...

[Harpo Speaks]

Struggled with parasite? Sounds like Kirk wrestling some alient beast.

[b4its2late]

Gobs and gobs of greasy grimy gofer guts,
marinated monkey meat,
little birdies dirty feet,
gobs and gobs of all purpose porpoise puss,
swimming in contaminated milk,
And I forgot my spoon,
So I ate it with my toenails......

Glad you feel that way, rr. Whatever my fellow medical Freepers and I can add to these types of discussions seems to be appreciated and we're happy to do it.
