I recently returned from the wilderness, where I found myself wondering
once again whether my fellow mammals suffer the effects of _Giardia_
_Whateverensis_.

Do wild animals go through their lives in a constant state of extreme
discomfort?  This would seem hard to believe.  If not, where do they
get their immunity?  Why don't humans have it?  Does anyone know which
members of the animal kingdom are affected?
