Sound advice SS. For some elements of our military this becomes especially touchy when, in the process of integration into the tribal community, it is expected that you sleep, live and yes eat as they do.
My foggy brain seems to recall a tragic case of an SF SSG in the early times of the Afghan campaign who received a number of disciplinary actions, eventually being relieved of duty and shipped back to the States only to later be found to have J-C Disease. Careful delving into his activities revealed he had indeed been provided raw goat brain as an honored guest from an Afghan mountain tribe some weeks/months before.
He was exonerated of all negativity and his record appropriately scrubbed. Rank and status renewed. I do believe he was then medically retired with 100% disability before he died.
Yet one more of the "hidden hazards" the QP's of today are faced with from a seemingly harmless activity.
