A diet largely consisting of squid doesn't do much for the state of your digestive system or your breath, you really don't want to be breathed on by an elephant seal. Most of the time pods are quite fairly restful places in a constant snoring and guttural grumbling sort of way, but every now and then one of the inner most seals decides it wants to go to sea.
I have never had the severe symptoms you describe after a cleaning, that's quite a reaction, but have felt very tired. I chalked it up to emotional exhaustion as I hate having my teeth cleaned. I agree with Wayne Mikie, it feels good to see your name. Hope you are feeling better.
Even a teeth cleaning is a risk in this respect because itâs easy for bacteria from the mouth to enter the body through tiny cuts in the lips or gums. To address this issue, chemoprophylaxis, again in the form of antibiotics, is used to prevent infection, and only one dose is needed about an hour prior to dental work as a preventative. Ad Another group of people at risk for constant infection are those who don't have a spleen.
