Things that make you go, "Hmm..."


Jason Giambi is being tested for entamoeba histolytica. Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic infection that can lead to a potentially fatal infection called amebic liver abscess. Essentially, an area of the liver becomes filled with pus.

What are the risk factors for contracting such a condition? Good question. The factors can include malnutrition, old age, pregnancy, malignancy, immunosuppression, and alcoholism.

Oh, and steroid use.

To be clear, this page has no problem with an athlete's steroid use as this page has no problem with actors and actresses getting nose and boob jobs. Just don't come complain later if it blows up in your face and cuts your life short.
