It's not TB

As I suspected, I neither have, nor have been exposed to, TB. Good to know, I guess.

On the other hand, I did find out some rather surprising news as I round up the battery of post-return tests that I have been subject to. In turns out that after living in the land of beef and the land of sugar for three years, during which time I consumed more red meat and sugar than in my whole life combined, I discovered that I am borderline iron and blood sugar deficient! How is this possible? Either I could have actually been eating more meat and more cake while in Brazil or else my body is in shock to being back in Canada and not eating so much meat and sugar....

Who would have thunk?
