Hey DK--I ate the clams and paid the price too. I've heard the longer the gestation time until the condition affects you the worse the
illness...After eating the clams in Ensenada and going home and off to a party in Northridge--36 hours later--the clams started their attack...it was
106 degrees that day in August and I had to get under some blankets because the chills were so bad...then the pipes, well...it darn near killed me
too. Got another bad dose of something at a Taco stand in San Ignacio in the mid 80s...since then I think I've built up some resistance--I don't seem
to get bugs even when people I've been eating with do, knock on wood.

Nothing worse than a bad clam in your tummy, right Steve?
I wanted to die... and I was on Shell Island all alone... that is the place where I want to be when I die... I just wasn't ready for it to happen that
soon... I still had two kids to raise (who were with relatives that weekend giving me a rare break).

Sounds like the delayed reaction was giardia; can take up to 2 weeks for the symptoms to appear and forever for them to go away. The recommended
treatment is Flagyl (an oral antibiotic) and the side affects of the Flagyl are not unlike the symptoms themselves. The good news is you can buy it
OTC at any farmacia in Baja...(the Flagyl, not the giardia)!

"industrial-size clams"
what size be that?
Really, a couple of species comes to mind. They are fatal to excellent depending on who, what,where and how.
Who cooked em
What are they
Where have they been
How old are they
Those bigguns there near San Quintin are yummy cuando fresca. Large razor clams courtesy the PNW are the best clams I've ever eaten.
The only ones I serve are Manila clams, rarely over 11/2".
I like them and they work well with most dishes.
Never had or served a bad clam in 10 years. Whew!!
The problem unlike with shrimp is that the clam may not smell bad when they are. Shrimp always look darkish and smell foul when they are.
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

probiotics ........ take them everyday.
the "good biotics" help battle the "bad biotics"
if you can't get your mitts on any probiotics then you can also eat raisins, they also help keep your stomach ready for what ever comes it's way food
wise.
In health,

Thank God for hot grease and boiling water, will kill any bug known to man. Some bugs produce toxins. Toxins aren't affected by normal cooking temps. and will do a number on you. A bug might take several hours to make you
sick. A toxin acts much faster, will bring you down within 3 or 4 hours after
you ingest them.
