Was kiting in fishy smelling water today, I came down and when I stuck my head out the water to breath a bit of chop hit me and I breathed back heaps of salt water. Everytime I cough I taste fish. Am I going to die
Anyone know how much I needed to breeth before i get an infection? Symptoms?
Don`t think you`ll die. But when the wind picks up again and you don`t feel the desire to go kiting then see a doctor fast.! You might be suffering from what is known as "Aqua Dementia", also known as "The Wet Willies". The only known cure is to buy a brand new kite and board.
You can drown hours after emerging from the water seemingly OK. Also you can get a mean infection from the water in your lungs. If you are reading this though, you're probably fine. I'd go with the white wine option above.
Avoid your fairer half unless you fancy coming home after a sesh to find all your gear on the front lawn and a nice introductory letter from her solicitor.
If you come down with a lung infection you'll be coughing up yellow muck and may have a fever with it. Best to see the doc if you end up with a persistant cough and/or have these symptoms over the next few days.
btw, its a lot less dangerous breathing in salt rather than fresh water (salt water can be coughed up while fresh water is absorbed into the blood - with nasty consequences!) I'd support the wine treatment either way.
I died. Relo you freaking crack me up dude. I would pay a fortune to read your history tab... (I mean my wife would because I am dead). Anyone here that doco on Hack about that dude with a lung infection. Man... that would really suck. The fish burps made me hungry, beer washed them down nicely.
