People who get colds have a lower immune system and therefore in the confines of a plane, especially for longer flights they are more likely to get sick. We also stay away from doctor's offices and hospitals unless it is absolutely necessary.<br /><br />I doubt that the corn pasta was GMO free, it is hard enough trying to find a gluten free pasta down here let alone one that doesn't contain GMO's. According to a number of different websites that I have looked at it seems that Mexico has put a ban in place on GMO corn about a year ago but like many things in Mexico, you just never know. Here are two of the sites that I have looked at. <br /><br />http://ecowatch.com/2013/10/16/mexico-bans-gmo-corn-effective-immediately/<br /><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/12/us-mexico-corn-idUSBRE9AB11Q20131112Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20978994764038744102014-11-26T17:47:41.277-05:002014-11-26T17:47:41.277-05:00Nope, hearing loss is definitely no fun!Nope, hearing loss is definitely no fun!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-5625984642507593172014-11-26T17:46:52.311-05:002014-11-26T17:46:52.311-05:00I am so glad that I can hear properly again too!

Good thing I was in before it had been 10 days, although I was almost certain that it was wax. I have had this happen before many years ago. Sorry that you weren't quicker at getting your ear checked. Definitely something for people to keep in mind if they have a similar problem.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-65644550527913065712014-11-26T17:35:29.264-05:002014-11-26T17:35:29.264-05:00I was asking Kevin the same thing!

I don't know how you guys avoid getting sick with as much air travel as you do. Airplanes are as bad as hospitals for germs. That market looks wonderful. Is it all local produce? Do you know if your corn spaghetti is non GMO? Is that a problem in Mexico too? Monsanto owns the world wide corn crop or no?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-62600996296022869272014-11-25T13:46:27.918-05:002014-11-25T13:46:27.918-05:00Glad the hearing issue was resolved.

I also thought it was an ear wax problem. I was in a small fisher village 100 km south of Puerto Valleta, Mexico, without any doctor. One week later I was in Manzanillo and went in a clinic to check. It was a "Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) It should be considered a medical emergency. Anyone who experiences SSHL should visit a doctor immediately. But after 10 days there is no more help. Since then I am nearly deaf at my left ear.
