Bloated Goat
Try saying that seven times Generic prednisone quickly.
There are many things that I discover about nature simply because we live in Chad…things that also occur in the States, but maybe never cross my path there for various reasons. Here in Iriba, our house is actually next to a path that many villagers take
every day to fetch water from the open wells of the large wadi (a riverbed, which is dry year round except in the rainy season) in town. Some of these villagers travel 10-15 kilometers, so they often ride on a donkey and even bring some goats along to enjoy the water as well. We enjoy visiting with these villagers as they pass by (they often stop in to ask for a drink of water).
Every once in a while, one of those animals seems to “kick Buy Fluoxetine Online the can” just outside our house (we’ve seen two goats and one donkey pass away outside of our house in the last few months). Besides the awful smell of an animal returning to the dust is the strange phenomenon of bloating. When an animal dies it will sometimes “swell up” to really large proportions. Anybody know why? Here’s the bloated goat outside our wall this past week for evidence:
After observing this several times, I decided to look into it. It turns out that “bloating” is the 2nd of 5 stages in decomposition, which occurs in every living thing. We don’t observe it very often in the States because we’re usually required to do something with dead bodies (even those of animals that belong to us). Bloating takes place within 3-4 days of death, but can happen within 12 hours in warmer climates (no wonder we see it so often here). The bloating occurs because of the numerous gases given off by the bacteria already present in the body which are breaking it down from the inside out.
So, Buy Zoloft online there is your biology lesson for the day. Not sure if I mentioned this at the beginning, but make sure you’re not sitting down for a meal right now :-)
