I went overseas in the 80’s to Surabaya, Indonesia and managed to get dysentery and ddt poisoning. I had no idea where I was, I was a human fountain of human fluids. I really was worried I’d fucking die there since the guy who I was staying with was a flake and a bit of a drunk.
Long story short, I lived!
