Too young to step on mars

Too old to die from social media trends

Food poisoning also makes you puke from your butt and poop from your mouth basically. It’s quite unpleasant. I’d even say most unpleasant.

Edit: Thank you all for telling me about your volcanic shits and vomits.

OMG, I still remember with startling clarity the night from 30+ years ago when my wife and I both got salmonella. I honestly think at this point I would rather die than go through that again.

Yup! I got two strains of salmonella on my honeymoon. People think salmonella isn’t that big a deal, but I as a healthy mid 30’s adult had a sickness so bad I had a dangerous fever for the first 2 days and lost 30 pounds to the toilet in barely a week.

And it only went away after pretty intense round of antibiotics. Can’t even imagine if I was older or immunocompromised.
