[pct-l] Giardia

[Mary Kwart]

I've been backpacking for years and changing my diet and eating huge amounts of food only had that effect that one time--that's what made me suspicious. It lasted on a low grade level for weeks. It hasn't re-occurred last summer when I hiked 1000 miles and pigged out on zero days.
