For weeks, maybe months, I've been meaning to remove the dark spots from the outside of the Nalgene bottle that hydrates me daily. I figured I had gotten some marker on it and that it just needed a good scrubbing -- something I'd get to eventually. As I attempted once again to rub the spots with my finger tonight, I had an epiphany. It's not marker. It's mold. Growing on the inside. Many, many spots of it.
Promptly, I threw the whole thing away. And at almost the same instant I began to feel my throat close from the fungus that is surely growing there as well. Soon it will likely make its way into my lungs and stomach. I never thought it would all end this way, but if it has to, someone, please, nominate me for the Darwin award.

Are you supposed to wash those things? Dammit. I thought water in it was enough to keep it clean ... I hate the taste of soapy Nalgenes.
Hope you're feeling well....
My brother's ex-girlfriend was a med student and said that someone's whole cheek had to be remove because mold had started growing there. It could just be an extreme case, but you should be more careful!
AH! Horror stories!
I say drink some wine and you should be fine...it's considered satitary enough for an entire congregation to partake of the same glass, right? Better yet, fill Nalgene with wine - or vodka...
Also, NEW NALGENE = NEW STICKERS!
sake's also good for fungus in the mouth. head to a japanese restaurant at once.
i have warts, so...
i know how you feel
Isn't this the second time there was a question about dangerous substances? I recall a moldy cheese discussion a few months ago. A trend perhaps. . .what next?
Life is a terminal, sexually transmitted disease, so I don't think you need to be overly worried about the bottle mold.
But stay off of motorcycles laden with explosives for a while, just in case.
You have a delightful blog, BTW. Great, great reading.
