please remember to wash your fruit before you eat it!

don't be like me and get all cocky and skip that step. because then you'll be stuck at home on wednesday with the worst viral diarrhea you've ever had in your life.

yuck. my entire body hurts and i can't eat anything. just ginger ale in a glass and lots of blankets to keep warm.

WOW. I always skip that step. and it's the same sentiment! cocky, thinking my immune system can handle those germs, that dirt!

do you know for sure that it was fruit? that sounds just dreadful. I'm so sorry!

yes! i've always had a very strong stomach, too.

i'm fairly positive it was an apple i ate for snack around 4 yesterday, because shortly after was when the cramping started. everything else from lunch had been in my system too long to have caused it. my mom was the one who pointed out it was probably a viral thing, since it caused my entire body to hurt like that, as well.

it was an apple from whole foods, too -- it could have easily carried the virus from a random customer, but i also wonder if because it was organic, it wasn't sprayed with some special chemical to render it sterile or something.
