       "Dysentery has been more fatal to soldiers than powder or shot,"
       powder or shot being what they killed people with in combat and
       the statistics are amazing. The Mexican American War - diarrhea
       and Mexico seemed forever linked sadly. This ratio of seven to
       one soldiers killed from disease versus combat wounds, and a lot

       are invading the lining of the intestine to the point where you
       have blood. And it's a serious situation. You're dehydrating;
       you're bleeding..."
