sulphur

It seems to me after careful observation and reading through Google search that I may be suffering from giardiasis (a.k.a Backpacker's disease a.k.a beaver fever)...

Characteristically, have rotten-egg burps, diarrhea and am quite feverish, though the last one may be because we have shit Raya weather.

I also think I know where I got it, though I may be wrong because I am thbe only one in the family suffering the above. I condemn Cinnamon at The Garden. You know, the indian food place. Let me just tell you what an awful time my family and I had there.

1. We sat down and for 30 minutes nobody came to serve us.
2. When we were finally given the menu there was no water for us to drink and no papadams to munch on. That came about 10 minutes after we ordered... which was round about 15 minutes after getting the menu.
3. The cutlery was in disarray, heck, some were even missing.
4. The waiter was rude and unfriendly.
5. The food was mediocre.
6. It was expensive.
7. Food came late, we were very hungry.
8. We asked for water and the waiter gave us glasses which were unwashed. How'd I know? There were lip marks. Don't argue with greasy lip marks on the glass.
9. They served unfiltered tapwater. I could taste the chlorine.

Someone probably didn't keep proper hygene cos I've got bacteria in my small intestine. If it gets worse I'd probably run along to Docs to check and then get prescribed some antibioics for it. I hate drugs so here's hoping my body is as rough and tough as I hope it is.

On a saner, less blamey note: Perhaps I should check and see if any of my siblings or parents are suffering as well before I blame the gardia lamblia bacteria...
