Shigellosis is god awful. I've had it three times, from sexual contact. Let's just say I won't do anything more than a peck on the cheek unless I've witnessed the person shower first as many people's hygiene standards are disgusting
This article hit different for me.. It had a weird font so at the beginning I thought it said...
"I spent the days just prior to my 80th birthday sick with shigellosis"
Articles like this are a nice reminder of just how wonderful life is in America, and just how far civilization has to fall if shit REALLY hits the fan someday. If you need a reason to be grateful in spite of mundane crap like housing costs and white collar jobs, the developing world offers some lessons in humility and gratitude.
