The sickness is called "Montezuma's Revenge". In scientific terms, it's called "Amoebic Dysentery". It is contracted through the ingestion of tainted water through the old and dysfunctional water pipes in Mexico. The Amoebas get into your intestinal tract and begins eating away at everything and that's what gives you the runs. It can be fatal because of dehydration if not given antibiotics. Hope this helped...
