So I've spent the past 3.5 days stuck in bed with food poisoning. (Pizza Hut personal pan pizza incase anyone's wondering. And no I didn't raid Dsarti's freezer.) The only thing I've been able to keep down thus far is some Gatorade. So obviously it got me to thinking about "what if" this happened in a WROL/SHTF scenario. First off, electrolyte tabs should be a must in everyones b.o.b.'s for a number of reasons, but this is an excellent one as dehydration comes on FAST. After the first 12 hours I could barely produce spit.
Next up, if you get this sick you're not going anywhere. Depending on the scenario you may want to think of some back up plans for just such an occassion. I think it goes without saying that the instant anyone or yourself gets sick it should be priority to isolate yourself/them. Food for thought.
