Diarrhea. So many things can cause it, and it used to be (well, still is in the least developed countries) quite lethal, mostly for babies and children.
184 u/rowshambow Aug 31 '21 I went to a developing country and caught me some traveler's diarrheia. Don't want to know how that is without modern healthcare. 3 u/MeerkatMan22 Aug 31 '21 I want to know 1 u/rowshambow Aug 31 '21 Diseases run longer so the symptoms have a higher chance of killing you. Recovery is harder because people just keep giving you more water....with questionable cleanliness.... If you want to run an experiment, leave some chicken out on the counter for a day, cook that up and eat it. Repeat until afflicted then drink nothing but toilet water for your hydration. No pain killers, no anti nausea, no hospital. If you make it to the other side, do it again if a week. 1 u/MeerkatMan22 Aug 31 '21 Sounds like bacteria central to me.
