What's this?

My 10 day stay in the hospital 30 years ago

shitting blood was most likely from consuming raw oysters in Florida which were harvested from polluted waters. Many, many people died that year in Florida.

I dropped 30 pounds in a few weeks. Once they determined on Wed. morning what it might be, I received thousands and thousands of dollars in med over one night (15k in 1988) which knocked me out for two days to wake up on XMas morning feeling great.

I eaten a few raw since then, but I can count the number on my hands and feet.

Yea, raw seafood has that risk, of course so does a medium rare -- fordham 01/10/2018 11:18AM

The article isn't clear, but it sounds like she got the infection... -- JoesterVT 01/10/2018 11:52AM

Yea, since the other people ate them also, or she could have -- fordham 01/10/2018 2:27PM

I would bet that you are more at risk with the medium rare burger ** -- BayHokie 01/10/2018 11:24AM

Both are not good choices -- MEHOKIE 01/10/2018 2:26PM

I have a friend who’s a doctor that loves to eat spoonfuls of raw hamburger -- Hoakie82 01/10/2018 12:08PM

Raw hamburger is awesome (inside) -- FfxStationHokie 01/10/2018 1:33PM

I’m w/you. It is good but I think risky but this “Dr” does it all the time ** -- Hoakie82 01/10/2018 3:07PM
