Help. Girlfriend has botulism.
...or so she thinks. She was at work today and noticed a container of garlic hummus with a somewhat puffy lid. Of course she tasted it to see if it was good or not. It wasn't. She only had a tiny little bit.
Everyone else tasted it too. Now she's afraid she's going to get botulism. I told her there are probably a lot of other bacteria that make the lid puffy (she says it wasn't visibly moldy, about 7 days old), and that, barring that, she only had a tiny bit. What do you guys think? She's leaving for Puerto Rico tonight and doesn't want to get sick on the plane. I told her to go to the doctor but she doesn't have health insurance. Please tell her to stop being paranoid. Thanks, NT

Re: Help. Girlfriend has botulism.
It always amazes me that there are so many people who don't have health insurance.

Re: Help. Girlfriend has botulism.
Wait until you enter the world outside of school, when your mother can't put you on her insurance. When you've got the choice between eating or paying for health insurance, you go with the primal needs.
