Cuidado, if You're Headed to Mexico
Cuidado people. I know it's tempting to head South of the Border to pick up cheap drugs (I'm talking about the prescription kind), but an article in article in the LA Times warms that while cheaper than US versions, some 30 percent of the drugs purchased in Mexico are fake. Also, Mexico has some other surprises in store. It seems some folks are coming back with more than cheesy plaster-of-paris Tweety Birds. They are also finding themselves the victim of some lovely diseases like rabies, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, malaria, and a "re-emerging brain disorder caused by a parasitic tapeworm found in pork." Get your shots…and I don't mean the tequila kind.
