Thiamin and the Braindead Crocodile

A few who know me from college who have the same lessons as me will already know this, but read on because its good stuff!

Basically, i've found out about these crocodiles that was found in a lake in America. Scientists found out that they were suffering from a Thiamin deficiency because some fish that had moved into the area had been taking all the Thiamin from the water in that area. So these crocodiles were suffering from syptoms like decreased brain function and because of this they were drowning underwater because they couldn't move, which is quite sad but...the little ba**ards wouldn't think twice about biting our legs off so why should i feel sorry for them anyway?!

So this inspired me to think, like always. Are we humans at risk of an outbreak??

Apparently, from doing research about this, i've found out that causes of Thiamin deficiency include, binge drinking. SHOCK HORROR!!
Britain is, in my eyes, a nation full of pissheads so i'm thinking we're on the brink of a full scale outbreak of spazos.

Effects of Thiamin deficiency sound awful some of the more serious ones are the increased risk of cancer (not sure if that is completely accurate), swelling of the heart, less energy and muscle cramp. Now i know that cancer and swelling of the heart is well bad, and not a subject to laugh about. But i read it myself on an Internet site, that Thiamin deficiency can make it difficult (because of muscle cramp) to get out of the squatting position. That must be a bit shit though, don't you think? A big night out, drinks, drinks, dancing.....more drinks, didn't think once about Thiamin deficiency! Got up gone to the toilet....SHIT!! Then found out you couldn't stand up, apparently these syptoms can last for extended periods of time. I've heard of being in the toilet for a long time but....damn, a shit that lasts 3-4 hours. That can't be good. I said to my friend you could eliminate this problem by doing a handstand against the toilet. He said well no i don't think that would work at least not forever because what if it goes to your hands. I said yeah you'd end up like the crocodiles and end up drowning, except this time you be drowning in toilet water.

Something must be done to tackle this....

I think me and a couple of the people i know will be safe as they do not drink to excess like me. I take multi vitamins too and have a well balanced diet so i don't think i'm at risk. If i discover any more major crisis' i'll let you know.
