Probably Wikipedia, Dan. (I’ve been reading all the old articles, so I know wiki’s a pet hate of yours!) lol. Ulcers- what fun!

I don’t mean to sound like an attorney but what is the source? It’s a good concept, good science, but the extra details, well I don’t know?

For his efforts not only did he get half a Nobel Prize, but a case of ulcers too.

But! The ulcers didn’t last long because he then drank an antibacterial specifically aimed at the Helicobacter pylori bacteria responsible and the ulcers “magically” disappeared. Barry’s car’s number plate is PYLORI. He’s with the University of Western Australia in Perth, where I go to and I’ve been to a lecture from him about this as part of my Science degree.

I suspect your spellcheck is quite the comedian. :P
