My friend ate some poop the other day because of a dare. He hasn't been feeling well. Is it because of the poop?

Dear John Malkavia,

First, I must rethink my previous beliefs that people who eat poop are somehow abnormal. I am receiving this question more and more often, so it must be more common than I previously thought. I stand corrected.

Was it his own poop, or someone elses? Poop is swarming with germs, and wasn't meant to be recycled, even on a dare. My guess is that he will be OK ( though I admit I feel kind of sick just typing this answer), but if he doesn't feel better soon, he had better go to a doctor.

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
