You know, as a farming lad in Sask, I've shot and handled a lot of gophers.

I'm sure there are still lads doing the same across the prairies.

Symptoms are flu-like and can include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.

Another vague thing, that you don't go to the doctor for for a while...

And to think some enterprising people were catching and shipping them off to Japan as pets back in the 90's.

I wonder how many Japanese thought their vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain were just a result of a night out on the Ginza?

write it off as sashimi that was a little off.
