Infection
Infection One Tuesday in July I visited my daughter and stayed for about 2 hours, I told her that I felt a bit strange, I had a tight ‘head’ like there was a band around it but otherwise I felt fine. I returned home and later that evening I consumed a couple of cans of beer and a couple of whiskies after having chicken and chips for tea. The chicken was chilled and bought from the supermarket.
