The man had been a home-brewer and was regularly exposed to the brewer’s yeast,
the fungus used to ferment beer. He likely had an antibiotics treatment
that had killed off his original intestinal flora and replaced it with
brewer’s yeast.
From then on, carb-rich foods such as bread or bagels
would ferment after he ate them, making an alcoholic brew in his
gut within the next 24 hours.
He took daily anti-fungal
medications for six weeks to kill off the yeast and followed a very
strict no sugar/carb/alcohol diet, until eventually he was back to
normal.
Fist bumps are good for you.
If you want to avoid catching a virus,
fist bumps are a safer alternative to
shaking hands. Research shows the
amount of germs you transfer when
bumping fists is merely a fraction of
what gets passed around when you’re
shaking hands with someone or
giving them high fives. Source
You can’t usually smell your own house (or perfume) because of a survival instinct called ‘olfactory adaptation.’ The brain is always looking for new, unusual, or changing smells as a sign of possible danger, so it ignores smells that have become familiar. Source
Winning a car on the Price is Right can
cost you nearly half of what it’s worth.
According to a 2013 winner of a $19,652
car, she ended up shelling out $9,000 in
federal, state, and sales taxes. On top of
that, the sales tax (over $2k in this case)
must be paid before taking possession of
the car, which has to be claimed within
10 days of it becoming available. Source
