everclear is more than 153 proof. it's 95%, which means 190 proof.

they dont deny treatment here either, in this state that is illegal, they just send you a fat bill afterwards.

anyways, thanks for all the useful responses guys, i think i got more useful and "we give a ----" sort of answers out of you guys than I did my own mom and sister.

hmt ownz me.

ps - i went to the ER, missed the place CivicZC mentioned by 15 minutes

strep for sure, tested positive for that. they gave me an amoxycillin there to get me thru the night, and prescribed straight penicillin that ill go get in the morning.

they also gave me some liquid vicodin, for the pain. hopefully im doing better tomorrow so I can finish moving.

I'm on Zithromax right now for my Strep Throat. It's good stuff. 6 pills and you're done.
But then I'm in Canada, so it cost me 8$

easiest and cheapest to get rid of it is gargle the OG Brown listerine 3 or 4 times a day for a few days, tastes like *** but it works

are you sure its not mono??

if it was mono do you think they would've done a strep culture and had it show positive for strep?

I'd hate to spend the money on an ER visit and not even have strep.
Damn that sucks.........move to Canada and enjoy the cold weather and free health care!
