Don’t Poop in my Food!
April 12th, 2007 by Matthew Jabs
With my recent bout of the stomach flu, I was very curious to learn more about the extremely uncomfortable ailment. What are the symptoms, what are some treatments, how is it contracted, etc.
While reading I discovered disturbing, but expected information about how you contract it. The only ways for you to “come down” with this sickness are through contact with vomit or fecal matter! Sick…I knew it! I ate at Mancino’s the night before I came down with this vicious virus. Here’s my guess at what happened:
Some minimum wage worker at Mancino’s was sick with this virus. They came to work after feeling slightly better, but they are still contagious for up to 72 hours after they feel fine. They began making pizzas as if their life depended on it. Then they had to run to the restroom for a bout of diarrhea (I still have it & I came down with this a week ago). When they were done in the bathroom, they didn’t wash their hands, then returned to work & made my pizza! Yum.
Something like that had to have happened. Another explanation is that I touched someone’s vomit, which I’m 100% sure didn’t occur. The only other possibility, though less common, is that the virus was airborne in the bathroom after someone took a dump. Then I sauntered in to the bathroom only to inhale someone’s poop particles and become violently ill.
Either way…the moral of this story is to get people to WASH THEIR HANDS AFTER THEY PEE OR POOP! 
If you already do…then great. If you don’t…then think of it this way. Would you want to ingest someone elses crap? I think not, then give everyone else the same courtesy. The only problem is that you can’t rely on the honor system when it comes to people washing their hands. In my office I can think of two people right off the top of my head that NEVER wash after using the restroom. Oh…goodness…that’s all I’m going to write about this!
Do you wash your hands?

Poop is funny. But you can only laugh about it after you’ve fully recovered from the stomach flu.
I prefer not to think about all the germs & bacteria floating around, thinking that my body is constantly fighting them, and as such, making _me_ a little healthier overall (and not jumping at the chance to take any antibiotics at the drop of a hat).
no kidding! Finally someone who feels the same way I do.
I don’t take antibiotics unless I HAVE to. Otherwise, it weakens my body’s ability to fight the buggers off naturally…with my antibodies.
If antibiotics are taken every time you have the slightest sickness, your body will stop producing the needed number of antibodies because of the presence of the foreign substance fighting the infection in it’s stead.
