Oaky so...
Devil's advocate weighing in.
If the fork in question was one of those ecologically sound DISPOSABLE numbers that was being used over and over again, I can see how the o.p. might be a little skittish.
I mean, how would everybody feel about a restaurant that re-uses paper/bamboo straws.
Rinse them and put them out in the afternoon sun to be re-used at the next night's service.
Yuck.
Same goes for the fork.
Someone mentioned lipstick on the rim of a glass.
That's gross too.
After being served my beer in lipstick rimmed glasses once too often...I gave up.
I insisted on being served from a disposable plastic glass.
lol.
If I were to attend the restaurant mentioned in the o.p.'s story I would be right out of luck.
That sounds like the kind of a place where disposable lives on forever.

DR
I am so disappointed with the help I'm getting here :cautious: When Rey asked about his concern with dented food cans (and 1000 other ridiculous questions) everyone was so eager to help and give advice, yet nobody is taking me seriously 😭. The fork was not plastic of reusable, it was just your regular metal fork and I KNOW it has been used before and it has been in someone else's mouth before! I just know it! As I said, I am getting panic attacks, should I go to a clinic to get blood test? Should I do a body detox/cleanse? Is DR a safe country and do people take food safety seriously? 😩 😱

Go to your local bar and have a couple "Presidente's.
Let the alcohol cleanse your system.

WAIT !!!

They recycle beer bottles.
They have been sucked on before.

Just remember never to scatter the ashes in the wind or pee…Mil left a bad taste in my mouth which took many mojito to get rid of..I feel like she never left us ..

If you are looking for sanitary I would think that maybe DR is not a good country to live in or visit. Just live life. Take some precautions but don't lose sleep over the stuff. Sometimes you get sick sometimes you don't. No matter what country you live in. I was a waitress for many years in USA and you might not want to know most of what goes on in the back of the house. I worked in a DR restaurant too and all are the same.

Yes - you should do a high colonic colon cleanse immediately and for 14 consecutive days.

A European man went to Bora Bora and after his first month there he became severely constipated
He went to the local doctor and explained his condition and pleaded for the doctor to administer an enema
The local doctor said "We do not do enemas here in Bora Bora"
"Well what can I do?" pleaded the constipated patient.
The doctors replied "We work things out with Bora Bora's special small palm fronds, because with fronds like that we don't need enemas".

.....I'll be here all week
