No Typhoid Fever for me!

💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊

Today was the third pill in the course of four to vaccinate one against Typhoid Fever. Not a shot or injection-- these are capsules dosed out for consumption every other day. I have kept them in the fridge, as instructed, and have been avoiding them for weeks now. Because: The packaging! 

💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊

This padded envelope shouted at me: "BEWARE! Enclosed are the largest pills you have ever encountered, and you had better gird your gut and prepare your esophagus for smooth passage."

The font was like a flashing sign that illuminated each time I opened the fridge, reminding me of the difficulty I had swallowing the iron pills I was prescribed during my pregnancy. Scoffing at my inability today to chugalug the ginger supplements I can't seem to incorporate into my morning routine.

Ha! Never judge a book by its cover and clearly, never judge a pill by its envelope! 

They are baby pills with a whole lot of (internal) hype!

I'll take the last one on Thursday, and then I'll have 5 years of not quite guaranteed protection against contracting Typhoid Fever from any contaminated water I may unwittingly consume. 

No typhoid fever for me!🙅🏽‍♀️ 🤒
