there was a 65 year old man in Ireland who played golf everyday and experienced lethargy and abdominal discomfort, had dark urine and jaundice. He was diagnosed with acute hepatitis.
It was later discovered that this old man often licked his golf balls to clean them, exposing himself to the weed killer used on the greens.
This led to the golfer related hazard called ' golf ball liver'
The doctor ordered him to stop using his tongue to clean golf balls and his symptoms faded.
Funny part is that the next time the greens were sprayed with weed killer, he resumed licking his golf balls to challenge himself for a month. Obviously, his hepatitis symptoms returned.
HAHA its quite unlikely anyone I know would do that. But sometimes people just need reminding....
