It was probably just drama, though.
This is what I am saying...funny, I bet I know who you are talking about...although I never heard this specifically from anyone I knew who lived there.

It sounds like giardia doesn't usually resolve on its own. I am guessing it is usually self-diagnosed and not actually true.
