Not good

[Thomas]

To add wine to a similar experience, hotwine, I got amoebic dysentary while living in Tehran in the seventies. Lost 23 pounds inside of ten days before they figured out what to do with me, which was first to feed me iv, and then to get a drug in me to kill the one-celled Devil. Took years to get over it.

Oh yeah, the wine part of the story: I got the dysentary while scouring the countryside looking for modern Iranian wines (many of which were quite good then) and ancient wine sites. The dysentary was the result of a combination of me not being careful with meat and them not being careful with sanitizing...
