The scariest thing to my mind is having a stroke. A friend of ours fit as a fiddle has one out of the blue, now he can't walk properly and can't talk properly. So if you are unlucky and are waiting for an ambulance to turn up, does the advice to take an aspirin work (or alcohol) or is there something else one can do? I understand that areas in Latin America that have the lowest number of strokes consume cocoa regularly. (cocoa powder for cooking made into a hot drink). So my question is: is it worth trying to get hold of some anticoagulant as a standby precaution?
