marylou Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 This has been a hella summer for buggies. I had an unfortunate bout with what I think was G last month. It seems to have cleared itself up, but I'm armed with antibiotics should it change its single-celled mind and return to my bowels. Ick. Quote
Couloir Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I just fucking hurled all over my screen. Thank you. But that being said, when faced with the dilemma of having to simultaneously shit and puke with only one receptacle, what do you choose? Quote

Raindawg Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 This has been a hella summer for buggies. Close-up: I had an unfortunate bout with what I think was G last month. It seems to have cleared itself up, but I'm armed with antibiotics should it change its single-celled mind and return to my bowels. Ick. P.S. I wasn't aware that womens had bowels nor utilized them in the traditional fashion. Quote
Ducknut Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I gotta say it. This is a really SHITTY Thread. Quote
Raindawg Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Hey Ivan! Your test results are in! Look what the lab found in your "sample": GO AHEAD, HAVE A LOOK! Quote
Winter Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 So who's slaughtering chickens up at Asgard? How does food or water get contaminated with Campylobacter? Many chicken flocks are silently infected with Campylobacter; that is, the chickens are infected with the organism but show no signs of illness. Campylobacter can be easily spread from bird to bird through a common water source or through contact with infected feces. When an infected bird is slaughtered, Campylobacter can be transferred from the intestines to the meat. More than half of the raw chicken in the United States market has Campylobacter on it. Campylobacter is also present in the giblets, especially the liver. Quote

That's sort of what I was wondering about since the info I'd found on the bug seemed focused on food contamination, although water was listed as a source too. Quote

Off_White Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Seems I've seen a study that determined that a significant percentage of supposed waterborne backcountry ailments were in fact due to poor hand sanitation on the part of the infected person. Quote
Mr_Phil Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I guess that's the downside of flinging your poo on other climbers. Quote

ivan Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 got a call from the county health department today asking me kindly not to have sex w/ any of the local lifestock if it wouldn't be too inconvenient doc on the phone said it's usually spread through eating bird flesh w/ peak infections round x-mas and t-giving WHO website says the bacteria also lives in the gut of mammals too, so all the marmots, goats and chipmonks can well be helping out 'round colchuck course, this has all really been a cover for my sick, sick fetish of eating raw poultry n' snorting dried bird-shit Quote
MisterMo Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 So I was thinking about all of this & as always trying to decide if I should start filtering my water after many, many years of not doing so & the hygiene thing comes up: If responsible people don't crap down by the stream, how and where, exactly, are people washing their hands or otherwise preventing that mode of transmission of bugs?

Suppose you have a bag of GORP and you have been grabbing pieces out of it with your unwashed hands. Now, you offer some to your partner, who reaching in the bag with his unwashed hands. That's one scenario I can think of. Quote

Use hand sanitizer gel to clean your hands. Far more effective than hand washing with soap and water and infinately more effective than rinsing your hands in a stream. Rob- you may have gotten infected with something in Peru and the incubation period covered you until you got home. Happened to me when I went to Nepal when I got some kind of parasite. I got really sick within 24 hours of getting home to the states. Quote
ivan Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 or maybe how such virulent bacteria have spread to the colchuck area? i did in fact see a cute-little-itti-witti-bunny on the hike out... Quote
