We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember stuart noble
saying something like:

I remember when pubs had bowls of free peanuts on the counter. Now that
would be asking for trouble.

Istr an analysis of pub peanuts in bowls revealed an average of 28
different urine traces.

Well they are salted ...

YSTR an urban legend IWS

If I go through life and the worst that I get is **** flavoured peanuts,
I won't have done so badly

When I'm in the far east, the best food comes from roach coaches and
street vendors. Ice and veg washed in water - **** it, bring it on,
exposure to "bugs" has meant that I very rarely get sick

Doesn't work with cholera and giardia, which means you need to take
care of the water supply. Once your water has bugs like that in it,
life gets messy.

Never heard of giardia, but yes - if there was a breakout of cholera, it
would be bad news - but then there are plenty of other statistically
more probably ways to get very ill or die

I didn't take malaria pills either - not really an option for the long
term expat
