Go to Synapse.ucsf.edu to read Juli Riggs' hilarious account of her battle with an intestinal parasite: "From reports I receive, it sounds damn-near post-apocalyptic down there. You have begun to establish a residence in my Ileal neighborhood. This is simply unacceptable! You have given me no choice but to turn to metronidazole. I apologize because I know this method is harsh. However, you have given me no choice. Sincerely, Juli, Proprietor, Duodenal & Ileal Neighborhoods" https://synapse.ucsf.edu/articles/2023/10/10/dear-giardia
