I have two stories
Many years ago my DR girlfriend ,and I went to one of those corner food sellers. You know the one's that hang bacon and other meats on string or wire, fry it up and give it to you on a plate?.
Well some months later my left eye starts going brown. My vision was brown. I went to the eye doctor in my country where i work occasionally and she said i had an infection in my eye that was
caused by cat faeces. I had become infected most likely around x date, some months before according to my eye specialist. At that time i was in the DR.
It was a certainty that i had eaten ill prepared food which had come in contact with cat crap.
I almost lost my sight. I strongly believe i that i acquired this infection from either the meat fry dude, or eating at my GF place. Probably the former.
Second and this was recently,
I was staying in Luperon and ordered food from a small food place. That night i awoke hallucinating, sweating, vomiting uncontrollably and hanging onto the toilet for dear life. I was leaking from both ends and not a Dr. in sight to my knowledge.
This gradually subsided over 2-3 days. The effects of this food poisoning were tremendous.
I was taken to their little hospital given medication and something else, im not sure.
I should have known better, I did know better, but i did it anyways.
I should have known that a poorly educated people would have zero idea about cross contamination, contamination,
food poisoning and the need to clean your kitchen properly.
I will never ever, EVER eat again from and place in the DR ( unless i trust them 100% due to having eaten there over the years with no problems, but even then?????)...I am now cooking my own food totally. NEVER EVER EVER will i eat food prepared by DR people....EVER!!!!!!!
Doesn't need to be a small street restaurant. Me and my wife were invited to one of these big all inclusive hotels for new years Eve by a friend who works in the hotel. I wouldn't wanna say the name now but i just ate salads and my wife seafood. It showed immediete effect, severe diarrhea, vomitting, high fever. Both of us were sick for three days and me, ten days to recover. Apparently 500 people were sick after consuming food in that hotel on new years eve. Never gonna eat in an AI here in this country. Kitchen staff are so ****ty they don't give a damn about hygiene and cross contamination.
