“What do you do if you get sick on the trail?”

“What symptoms are you talking about?”

“Like the flu or food poisoning. Calling in a chopper is not an option.”

“i sometimes get altitude illness i would love to know if there is a pill that can take care of it.”

“Yes there is a pill. Check the pulmonary endema thread.

Biz, don;t you pack in any cold supplies? Liquidgell sleep potion? And always, always the suddafed and fever reducer like advil or asprin.”

“this diamox pill is it over the counter?”

“Ya puke!”

“no prescription only. talk to your doc.

And Biz, ammonium ad for the runs and some sorta antacid to calm the stomach.”

“Also, what are you taking on the trail that would give food poisoning? A hangover I could see...”

“ok thx rosey i looked it up on Web MD and think i best do with out.”

“if you consider taking Immodium AD I'd suggest trying it at home first... it actually made me WORSE once, I talked to my DR. about it and he sez that is not uncommon”

“Abort the trip and go home.”

“sqeeze and run Walkindude! hehe

“You mean runningdude don't you?

I always take Immodium with me. Thankfully, I've never had to use it out there but it has helped a couple of my hiking partners.”

“HAHAHA Prowler!”

“I got the flu on the trail once. Well, I probably had it coming on the first day and had full blown symptoms on the second day. It was the winter and the temps were below zero and I had a high fever. We got off the trail and found a small picnic area and my friend got a ride back to the trailhead to get the car and pick me up. It ruined the trip, but I'm glad I wasn't out solo.”

“I like that sqeeze and run thats funny...:p”

“roseymon, ya sound like a pharmacy.”
