I deliberately drink the water everywhere I’m going to be for more than three days. Anything I’m gonna get, I usually recover from in a day, and adding the new bacteria can’t hurt the old immune system, i figure.

Anyway, the adjustment to Canadian water and it’s bacteria took about half a day, and I’m sure it helped having been exposed before. Coming home was another day, and now I’m past it. The eating I did there- all sporadic, never scheduled, and often too rich or spicy, made for digestion that can best be described as “RUN! RUN, HE’S IN THE CRAPPER AGAIN!!” Specifically I had a lot of small sammiches made predominantly of German Salami, a hard spicy salami with a taste I’ve not been able to find here. It generates farts, especially when mixed with mayo and tomato, that are acrid in the extreme. I was forced to sleep out-of-doors for a brief period.
