How good is your immune system?
-
Hi Guys,
I saw the attached picture on the Net and it put me thinking. I think I have a pretty good immune system. I rarely get an upset stomach no matter what I eat and I have tried a lot of strange food stuff, sheep eyes and pigs trotters for example!
I think that over 55s have good immune systems. We were reared with none of the germicides that fill the kitchen cupboards these days. Our milk bottles were sterilized with just boiling water. We did our crawling on sometimes dirty floors! Not ones that are daily given a disinfecting!
Maybe few germs here and there are not a bad thing!

i think for the most part people still grow up as you described, it is only a select few who live in an over clean environment. And your right in that it isnt particularly good for you either.
And can i add sheeps testicles to the list of weird stuff eaten without getting ill?
-
Why should testicles make you ill?
The image is hilarious however. There was also some weird stuff written on Hotel Avante's (where you stayed at BaseCamp) front. I think Ross or Todd took some pictures of it...

They shouldnt do so anymore than sheeps eyes or pigs hooves...

We eat them all here
Yummy... ah and tripe as well! -

I had tripe once. Of course they would not tell me what it was and I was trying to be polite. After I ate it they were all surprised, being the gringo that I am. When I found out what it was, I was sure I'd never eat it again, just because of what it was... lol. Although, I must say, it was good.

Oh, and hoping my immune system is good. My daughter woke me up this morning with a temp of 103.6F, of course I slept with her for the rest of the morning, I'm sure getting her cooties all over me! I'm hoping I don't get sick because I have a very big project I'm working on right now and the deadline is next week. Prayers are welcome

Our immune system?!!

Mike, I have said this same thing for years! The mother of our grandkids is constantly cleaning the kids with wipes whenever they touch anything (Edit context) and this is precisely why they get sick as much as they do.
I say let them eat dirt. No cake, just dirt.
