Travel to a third world country and you will know the answer right away. If the sight does`nt convince you, then take a huge whiff. If that doesn`t do it, take a drink of water and wait for the eruptions that will develop in your behind. Eat a little local food to supplement the show, and get your admission to a hospital. A visit to the hospital will also wake you to your question when you see the antiquated facility and equipment. You may catch a bonus illness while you are there.
