Simon had acid reflux fairly bad and that can lead to what he got. He got me on the ppi pill to help with my own heartburn.
I was reading about that maybe 5 yrs ago and didn't put 2 & 2 together until last night oddly enough and you would post this the next day. I suffered with it a lot when I was younger. When I was really young it seemed ok. I would eat oranges at half time playing soccer but in my 20s I couldn't work after a glass of OJ or coffee.. tomatoes. It has been fine over the years for work expect chewing tobacco and work. Never got into it too much.
Last night I layed down a little quick after eating and it came up and I jumped up knowing it's bad for the enamel on your teeth. That is when I remembered 'the relation'
I believe they say to not lay down for 20 min after eating.
I just got the results for I couple ultrasounds,, for a lump in my nad offs the other day. Results Benign, but a light hernia or two. (goes with the territory) When I came to England last year and did a first aid course they said there is a huge rise in testicular cancer with mechanics. from gas and oil. All I could think about was how many times I stood up and wore tanks of gas and oil down my nuts. Me always looking at what 'you are going to be doing in the next 45 min and failing on the basic task at hand. Then 12 yrs of winter Seismic in the north....if you have a frozen vent and out of vented caps then you pull gaskets and deal with the leak and eventually lose another cap and wear another crotch full.
Or hot pin a hole through the cap.
-30 to - 40 below weather and you sure smell it in the heat on the ride home.
Dye factories are also are a cause of testicular cancer.
Certain wood will cause Nasopharyngeal Cancer too.
