Eat Poop or Die

The cure for near fatal diarrhea, eat poop

Trials in a Scottish hospital have shown patients suffering from the Clostridium difficile bug can be cured using 'donor stool' administered via a tube through the nose into their stomach.

That's right, you have to ingest someone else's poo.
Enjoy that while eating breakfast.

Simply the concept of 'donor stool' gives me the willies.

Will they be having Red Cross Stool Donation Day at the office in Aberdeen? Yikes!

Since well over a century of previous medical experience shows that ingestion of fecal matter is an excellent method for contracting hepatitis A, I think I'll pass and take my chances with the diarrhea.

Besides, isn't "Scottish medicine" an oxymoron?
