This should be a monthly topic to see what Liz has this month ... This month the Illness of choice (or not by choice) is:
Giardiasis -
What is giardiasis?
Giardiasis (say "jee-ar-DYE-uh-sus") is an infection of the intestines caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia.
The illness, also called giardia, is most often a problem in undeveloped countries where tap water is not safe.
So I guess the question that remains unanswered is ... How did I get it?
I guess it's time to invest in a Brita.

I have a friend who's 4 year old got that. I am so sorry.
The question of how you got it is a good one. I thought that was something you get from drinking out of ponds and streams. It's like a worm isn't it?
