A member asked:
Years ago, drank water from a natural sprig. then got very sick with stomach bug, diarrhea weigh loss. given cipro (ciprofloxacin). got better. any long term effects?

Not really: You said this happened years ago! You then took a course of antibiotics (ciprofloxacin) and you're asking about effects years later. I assume that the medicine you took was not radioactive and you excreted it in a very short time (days, not years).
