I love it when the little guy wins.

So as it turns out, while ulcers may be a cause of much stress, it isnt cause *by* stress at all. In fact, ulcers are caused by microscopic bacteria called Helicobacter... sumpmsumpm.
This helio stuff was first discovered by Dr Barry Marshall in Australia after he drank a culture of the bacteria because... he REALLY wanted to prove that it was indeed the bacteria that caused some of the gasteric pains that could lead to ulcers and even stomach cancer.
Needless to say, this "mad scientist" of sorts didn't continue to test on himself, few doses of antibiotic and he was back in conferences in no time. Also needlessly said is that doctors weren't too keen to believe in this bacteria theory. Everybody knew ulcers were a prime example of the effect mental stress has on the physical body.
...Or not.
Now all those doubting doctors are watching that stupid kid and his bacteria win the Nobel Prize.
*points and laughs*
