Cameraman: That's a goodun. You gunna mount it?
Angler: Maybe, but not while you're standing there watching!
nathanielrthomas said:No. Giardiasis is found worldwide. There's 2.5 million cases every year right here in the United States(including the Great Smokey Mountains). And I'm not from California. The Navy brought me here. I'm from Alabama.
I'm just looking out for you guys.
Loggerhead Mike said:thanks for the heads up.

nathanielrthomas said:Giardiasis is a parasite. Symtoms include an abrupt onset of abdominal cramps, explosive, watery diarrhea, vomiting, foul flatus, and fever which may last for 3–4 days. Can also cause more severe developmental problems in children. May lead to weight loss and even anorexia if not treated.
