When 'd-day' Strikes

Diarrhea or “D-Day” is not exactly my favorite topic. Nor is it likely to be the subject of normal conver­sation. But like it or not, the problem is bound to crop up sooner or later, especially if you’re not concerned about the food or drink you’re taking.

 

Overeating itself does not cause diarrhea. While a brief attack may be due to overindul­gence in alcoholic beverages like wine and beer or by eating overripe fruits and raw vegeta­bles, the common culprit is food that's contaminated with bacte­ria.

 

Known as "food poison­ing", "turista" and gastroen­teritis, this problem is rampant in places where there is poor hygiene and lack of clean food and drinking wa­ter.

 

"The run-of-the mill gas­troenteritis, familiarly known as 'turista', 'Montezuma's re­venge' or the 'Aztec two-step' that tourists contract in deve­loping countries is usually more of a nuisance than a serious threat. It is almost always due to Escherichia coli, a bacterium normally present in the gut,” explained Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld of the New York Hospital -- Cornell Medi­cal Center in “Modern Preven­tion:- The New Medicine.”

 

“Strains of this organism vary from country to country. If you pick up a different form of E. coli, you may have some watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps (usually without fever) for a couple of days," he added.

Food poisoning, however, is just one part of the picture. Di­arrhea can follow periods of stress, the ingestion of chemi­cals like arsenic, lead, nitrate or cadmium, a virus infection or an allergic reaction.

 

The condition may also be triggered by certain drugs and serious and chronic ailments like a vitamin B defi­ciency, a stomach tumor or heart disorder. Whatever the cause is, diarrhea means fre­quent trips to the John and a great inconvenience for many of us.

 

"In cases of diarrhea, the ir­ritant - whether it be a virus, a chemical, or bacteria -- disturbs the gastrointestinal tract in a way that interferes with the normal absorption of liquids and salts. The disturbance speeds up the peristaltic movements of the tract, causing body fluids and salt to pass more rapidly through the intestines and out of the body," explained Dr. Morris Fishbein in his “Popular Illus­trated Medical Encyclopedia.”

 

What then should be done to prevent diarrhea? If you're trav­eling to a place where you sus­pect that sanitation is poor, Rosenfeld recommends the following:

 

"First of all use common sense. Drink and brush your teeth only with bottled water. I've heard of empty bottles be­ing refilled with local tap water (or worse), recapped and sold as 'pure and safe.' So carbonated water is the best bet. Dine only in restaurants recommended by your hotel. Avoid food from street vendors. All your dishes should be cooked, especially vegetables, and you should eat only those fruits you can peel.

 

“Shun creams and custards, es­pecially in warm weather. Fi­nally, take your cocktail without ice, since the ice is usually made from local tap water and the organisms it contains are not affected by the alcohol or the freezing. Don't ease up on any of these precautions, including the ice on the homebound flight. The airlines usually stock up in the country you're leav­ing,” Rosenfeld warned.

Fish Tank Cycling Question (Marine)?

Ammonia-0ppm
Nitrite- 3ppm
Nitrate - 0ppm
pH- 8.2

I've had the tank for 1 week, and I have 2 clowns in it to cycle, its a 55gallon tank, Fluval 305 Filter with Chemi-pure and those ceramic things as filter media. I just started the tank cycling. How long will I have too wait? Should I change anything while cycling? I used Bio Spira to jump start the tank, dunno if it helped at all.

The method for cycling a Marine tank is Patience! It can take up to six weeks for a Marine tank to cycle but you will know when it has cycled because your levels would have all fallen into place.

Thanks for visiting!
