This bird did a terrible thing to me. Sure I should've known, but there are some bits of what would seem to be common knowledge that escape even myself. So when I consumed turkey from thanksgiving yesterday the only thing that I thought was, "this is some delicious turkey." It was only after it was too late that I learned what this would do to a person, and I learned it the hard way. I am still recovering from the turkey poison even now. I ate nothing throughout the day, and could only keep water down, and it felt like I'd run a marathon by body was in so much pain. To the best of my extensive knowledge what happens to old turkey is that the sleep juice that require millions of Americans to nap one Thursday a year, actually transforms into a very potent cousin of snake venom. Hence the tremors, elevated hard rate, cold sweats, and shaking I was suffering from. You can verify all this information on the recently edited wiki entry for turkey.
