Cipro is a Very Good Thing

It has happened, I am sick. They say it happens to everyone...just a matter of time. Tonight I will take Cipro...perhaps just a day or two. Thought it was the malaria meds upsetting my stomach....but too much time has passed. Gonna nip it asap this time....before Tikal and the jungle. Getting an intestinal something or other is so common there is an add in the local gringo rag soliciting folks with diarrhea. It asks if you have had diarrhea in the past 72 hours and if you will remain in the area for 3 days....if yes, they invite you to participate in a clinical trial for medicine to treat this ubiquitous condition among foreigners. One is tested and given medicine and $250 for participating. Luckily, mine is still just gurgling in my stomach....but one learns to always carry toilet paper....and be prepared for the worse. Just thought you should know....
