If you served in Vietnam or other areas of SE Asia

[CorpsVet]

and may have eaten raw or under cooked fresh water fish, it is possible you may have been infected by a parasite known as liver flukes. This can cause a form of cancer and takes decades to present.

We used to often throw a grenade into a river, gather the fish that came to the top. cook them and eat them.

Please share this with anyone you know that may have been infected, I have made an appointment to get checked.

If you want more info, just google.

Thanks

I wuz in the Air Farce and never got to serve like youse guys-I wasn't lucky nuff. I had to eat in the AF Chow Halls. Actually it wasn't bad chow except for the dehydrated eggs in the mornings and the powdered milk all the time. They used mosquito nets to strain the weevils out of the flour to bak sweet rolls, you should have seen the catch! Some got through though but no one knew or complained.
