and it made me sick as a dog for over a week. Very explosive diarrhea. The doctor just called me and apparently it was most likely water born. I need to get the exact name but it was cryptosporadosis. I am getting better now but I still have to take some pills for 3 days to knock it out. I must have picked it up at tablerock so all you MO peeps watch out.

same thing happened to me a couple of years ago riding in the intracoastal on a summer day...

Was running buoys, hit the water face first mouth open......I must have drank a galon of water (or so it felt)


was sick for over a week......crippling internal pain, nasty nasty nasty.....I was one day away from going to the hospital..

You need to tell him so he can get himself checked out. He doesn't need to be spreading disease like that:bad:

I've gotten a mouth full a few times in both our lakes and was fine.

Makes me feel pretty good about the water I ride in.
