"Montezuma's revenge" is technically gastroenteritis, also called "traveler's sickness." Diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting, all are symptoms of GE.Josefismysire wrote:Just..YUK.allegrita wrote:Albra, I'm glad my little third-hand synopsis was helpful!
Fleur, you are so right to respect the thighs. My only complaint is that it took you so long to come into the fold. Have you not SEEN those coming-down-the-stairs caps from Fleur de Lis?!?!
I don't believe that Alex was either lying or joking about getting botulism right after Moonlight was canceled. It seems pretty obvious to me that he was talking about the trip he took with Holly right after he got the awful news. Botulism doesn't cause "Montezuma's Revenge." From http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/botuli ... N=symptoms here are the symptoms of botulism (edited to remove references to infant and wound-borne botulism):
Signs and symptoms of food-borne botulism typically begin between 12 and 36 hours after the toxin gets into your body.
Food-borne and wound botulism
Signs and symptoms of food-borne and wound botulism include:
* Difficulty swallowing or speaking
* Facial weakness
* Double vision
* Trouble breathing
* Nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps
* Paralysis
Poor Alex....
I thought it was a great interview. Just the two of them acting goofy and off the wall. They both seem ADHD, and both have said they are, so it would seem crazy when they get together. I like that it wasn't serious. Goofy Alex is so cute. OMG, he must have had a terrible summer, poor baby. Between ML getting cancelled and then being so sick, and then the slow disintegration of his personal life. Thank goodness he has such a positive outlook on life. And this time of his life is so making up for that dark time. Is it any wonder we love him so much?
