I think Taco Bell (4933 Se Powell Blvd
PORTLAND, OR 97206 - 3048) may have given me Cholera via the 7 layer burrito I ate last night. I ate it at around 8 PM last night, and by 11 PM I had a headache (a warning sign of dehydration, which is a key symptom of Cholera) and I awoke at around 4 AM with severe abdominal discomfort. I went to the bathroom, where [horrible details omitted]. I’m still noticing headache symptoms and still experienceing abdominal discomfort. I should’ve never crossed the border into Taco Hell.
*hangs head in shame*
You’re right. I’ve got to train harder and cultivate the proper gut fauna to be prepared for the south-of-the-border gut bomb.

Allow me to clarify a few things. What you experienced was the classic symptoms of a class 2 T-Bell di. Basically you have no one to blame, but yourself. You were obviously taking T-Bell far too lightly. You cannot casually stop by one day and pick up a 7-layer. Many of us train for years, building up our immune system, and di tolerance. A class 2 T-Bell di is a classic problem for T-Bell rookies. Put in some more time and effort. Locate the local T-Bell veteran working the counter and only go when he is serving up the ass. After many years you will be at the elite T-Bell level, and only then will you have truely “crossed the border.” My current T-Bell lineup: two chalupas (santa fe beef), 3 crunchy tacos (including the two .59 cent add-ons for picking up a meal), 1 7-layer, 1-regular burrito, large drink, and sometime audibling to a DD-Tac (double decker taco) or a Quesadilla. In no way should you attempt this at your current level. As an elite I am also able to patronize a local T-Bell on Kapahulu infested with rats and giant flying cockroaches with complete confidence that I can control the oncoming explosive di.
