I was having a discussion with a fellow of about the same age as I about the current cold that was going around when a young buck piped in with a cure all that he had discovered, yes it is over the counter and readily available. He claimed that it worked so well that he used it for food poisoning and within a day he was cured. Now I am as a general rule a skeptic where it comes to any word from the mouth of someone that I am twice there age, but I listened to his clams and tried not to belittle his clams. With out saying the product name, I am sure that it is a fine product if used as directed for what it was intended. I held my breath for as long as I could before I told him that cold medicine would have little to no effect on food poisoning, by this time the gentleman that I was originally talking to had shook his head,smiled and politely walked off. Now I was left alone to explain to a brick wall what food poisoning was, no he never did get it.
