I seem to have gotten sick here in Finland. Believe you me you don’t want to get ill when you are on the road – you want to stay in good health.
The problem with getting sick when traveling is that you have to deal with a foreign medical system and non-English drug label warnings. For example, right now I’m taking twelve different medications for each of the dozen or so different symptoms I’m currently experiencing.
- Vicks Vapo-rub for my sore throat
- Honey and water for my dehydration
- Advil for my headache
- NyQuil for my runny nose
- Vodka for my nervousness
- Beer for my awakeness
- Caffeine for my drowsiness
- Tabasco for my congested sinuses
- Eyedrops for my blurred vision
- Garlic for the wolf bite (rub on the wound once a day every day until the next full moon)
- Asprin to reduce my chance of heart disease (and to keep the Bayer AGA shareholders happy)
- Codeine for my achey-breakey pelvis (got this when I fell down while line dancing at America Town)
Normally I would be forbidden from taking all these drugs simultaneously but because I cannot understand the labels it should be ok.
Itsehoitolaake. Tilapaisiin kipu- ja kuumetilooihin, kuten vilustumissairauksiin ja influenssan oireisiin, paasarkyyn, lihas- ja nivelkipuihin, reumasarkyyn, kuukautiskipuihin ja hammassarkyyn.
Also, it would take too much time to administer each remedy individually so I simply mix them all in food blender with some vanilla ice cream. Now that’s good eating!
