Sage: Trip to Mexico - Closing Arguments

[Bree]

And no I didn't get sick from drinking too many It was the ice.

My husband is Mexican (an American citizen) and first thing he said when talking about going to Mexico is "don't drink the water in Mexico and that includes the ice".  It will make you sick!

Ugh.. gotten a little sick each time I've gone.  This was the worst though.  Missed a day of work and spent about 24 hours in bed with a fever... think/hope it's mostly passed now.

It's not just water and ice though.  You need to be careful what you eat too.  Anything that's washed directly with water is bad.  This normally includes salad type vegetables like lettuce.  Also need to be careful not to get water in your mouth while showering.. not something you usually think about.

Wow, I  go to Mexico often AND eat at the resturants. I mostly drink Coconut  juice fresh from a coconut from those little street venders, "Helada Coco" or bottled water. However sometimes I wonder if I got a "brain worm" from eating cerveche, LOL.

Well I won't be going back anytime soon.  To think my husband and I drove to TJ summer of 2007 with a 2 year old and no Mecican insurance, parked the car, walked around and came home.  No problem.  If we had known how dangerous it's become over there and that you NEVER drive your own car over there something would have happened.  I wouldn't go over there now.  
 
When will you hear anything?  The end of this week?

End of this week supposedly... but with Mexico unexpected delays are to be expected... but yeah.. i'd definitely stay away from the border cities for now.. and not because of fecal matter in the water.
