Food poisoning..have you had it? Chances are high, considering that 1 out of every four people has. Symptoms include fever, rapid heartbeat, abdominal cramping, nausea, and diarrhea. But don't be so quick to judge! Food poisoning can be great if you have one or more of these several issues I've conjured up...
-If you're stricken with bradycardia...a could be life-threatening disorder, which doesn't allow the heart to pump enough blood. (Rapid heartbeat can fix this!)
-If you're suffering from hypokalemia....a condition where potassium in the blood is low, sometimes causing constipation. (Diarrhea can fix this!)
-Or if your body temperature seems to have dropped so low that you have entered a state of hypothermia. (Fever can fix this!)
The American proverb "The sweetest nuts have the hardest shells" illustrates the exact feelings I have about food poisoning. That is, while one may have unfavorable opinions towards the embarrassing and excruciating side effects associated with food poisoning (Or the frustrating nature of the shell's surface), it's important to realize that it can be a very positive thing in the end (You get to enjoy the sweetness once you've cracked the shell). So don't be so down if you've contracted a sometimes fatal illness, live it up, instead.

What doesnt kill you will make you stronger. I can see how something as bad as food poisoning can be benificial. As you stated that it could save your life in some situations, it could also prevent future illnesses. The immune system will boost up a bit after someone recovers from being horribly sick. On a side note, I had mono once and it was great. The month vacation from work was nice and I didnt even have to exercise to lose 15 pounds. Theres allways a bright side to any bad situation.
ReplyDeleteEverything has a purpose and this just proves that even an illness can be helpful in taking care of another illness. Fight fire with fire.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how the body works sometimes. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger definitely holds true. There's usually a double edge sword to everything. Similiar to antibacterial soap being beneficial against fighting germs, but the body building an immunity toward the soap after some time.
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is hilarious! I never thought I would read anything arguing in favor of food poisoning. nor did I think that I would actually take a position in favor of a person preaching the benefits of food poisoning. Very interesting article and a good play on your blog topic. Next Week you should talk about how Mad Cow Disease is better than Chicken Soup.
