Giardia Lamblia

I am smiling from within :)

My duodenum became a shelter for these guys after less than a moth into our trip in India. It is characterized with explosive diarrhea, gases and losing control over any bodily functions and dignity. I took Metronidazole but most probably got infected again, because the symptoms persisted. It is only after I came back to Vienna that I realized the cosmic message I have been sent - I am full with smiley faces, maybe because I am so sulky. Can you freaking believe it that this is what lamblia looks like? I have been invaded by emoticons! Even my parasites are a joke. This is something you can imagine been infected by a clown, but beaver fever?
