He feels the E-coli I had as a child,and the bout last time has done damage.

Your Dr. should report to the Health Department when test shows e-coli.
They health department will contact you very fast. They ask you where
you have eaten,resturants,I only ate out at 2..They send you paper work
and imformation about what to do in your own house,you just never know.
It's not always reported because it may last a short time,and people
think they have the flu..

The Dr. said so much of it is in the ice that's put in our glasses..He said
by law,the person giving you the ice should change gloves when putting
the ice in glass throw them away and and put on fresh one's...But alot
will (and this will make you sick) go to the bathroom with those gloves
on,come back and use those gloves..Dr. said he never asks for water
with ice in it.. Now nurse is after me,I'm so glad you put this up.
I was sick with it 4 months imagine ,you don't want to. Sue
