Flatulence

Well, I did some research on the medicine we've been given to take with us in case we pick up a case of traveler's diarrhea. It's called Xifaxan...It's pretty new and good for areas of Africa with resistance to Cipro. Not absorbed systemically, it carries the benefit of having very few drug interactions or systemic side effects. But, look out for some local GI side effects. Some of my friends suggested using this recreationally (think "fart contests") or to get revenge on someone who has made you mad. Whether I end up NEEDING to use it (for either medical or recreational purposes), I'll be sure to let you all know if I'm in the lucky 11.7%.
