[Noisebridge-discuss] Prevent Diarrhea

[girlgeek]

Whether or not you like the flowers they are not causing dysentery.  I 
have traveled extensively where dysentery is a problem.  The 
preventative is to wash dishes, (the dishwasher is good) and your hands 
and to keep your hands out of your mouth and eyes.  Something clean to 
dry hands on would be a help.

All of the business about the counter, flowers, etc are nice if they are 
of interest to you.  They will have no effect on the dysentery.
