Odd. I'll try again.

I can find it with the search engine, but fails to link to Wiki. Another link:

South Korea still has open sewer systems, and a lot of residents still us open squatty toilet in the floor.

That is the common style of toilets in Turkey. My hotel had standard flush toilets. Out in the countryside, the toilet facility by the house where Mary lived out her days after the crucifixion of Christ was a squatty with a bucket and a garden hose with typical hose bib. No arrangements for hand washing.

Interesting - I was surprised when we visited northern Italy - the restaurant had the open floor squat toilet. We didn't stay the night or go to the bathroom anywhere else, so don't know how prevalent it is.

That one works.

I submit that the danger with self-diagnosis of that kind of reaction is the ease with which it can be confused with a genuine, life threatening allergic reaction, as the symptoms are very similar.

I’ve been told that I should try certain supplements and that I may experience that Herxheimer reaction for up to three weeks before I start to feel better and be able to eat again. But IMO that is dangerous advice from a natural health practitioner who is not really a medical professional.

And I can’t make it for three weeks of putting up with those kinds of reactions. For one thing, we live too far from a hospital, and another is that nobody has offered to come and monitor me to make sure I’m not going to go into anaphylaxis and die from it. Nor have they offered to pay for my ER visits during said alleged detox.

Then they leave you with the *Well, if you want to continue being sick* nonsense, not realizing that they could be WRONG. They have no business telling me what my reaction is when they have not observed it and know nothing about me besides my name.

Online schooling is a good idea. Though, there will be single parents and working parents scrambling to get sitters. Sitters will be another person to worry about.

Thought this was interesting. If you scroll down and hit play at the map, you can see how it mutates. (The mutations change in the graph above it)

Considering its coconut base, it is off limits to me.

I react very badly to coconut and coconut oil.

The Herxheimer reaction is most unpleasant. I had a horrible case of bacterial pneumonia in January 1977. My doctor prescribed Erythromycin 325 mg, 3x daily. I put the first one down and my eyes were swollen shut for hours. Lot of uncomfortable itching. Subsequent doses were fine. The infection was fully knocked down by the end of the week. The 103.5 fever too. It was weeks before I cleared all the garbage from my lungs.

What are the freaking odds of that?! So this person got exposed, then hopped on a plane or two, coming to RDU airport. Lovely.

It will be fine if either (ethanol or rubbing alcohol) + salt.
