I normally consider myself to have a cast-iron stomach, however, it was my luck that I ended up with a bad case of food poisoning from my recent trip to Hong Kong.
The most likely sources of contamination were the raw beef or raw egg yokes that made up of the two lots of oriental steak tartare that my family and friends had at a Korean BBQ joint last Thursday.
I started to feel unwell Friday evening before I boarded the plane back to UK.
Good job the DA did not start until I was home Saturday morning, otherwise it would have been very unpleasant for my fellow passengers on the plane!!!
Felt so poorly and decided against going to the work's Christmas party last night, as I could not be too far away from the loo!
Can't keep anything down except fluids, and I have lost as much as 4lb in a day, mostly fluids via DA.
The others in the party were also affected in varying extent.
The steak tartares were tasty, and next time, I shall visit the joint early in the trip (it is one of my family's favourites), so that I have time to recover if bad luck strikes again!
I can count the number of bad health episodes since I recovered from childhood asthma in one hand, all acute and none of them life-threatening, and this is one of them. I count myself lucky for being in relative good health when compared with others.
Inspired by Kenny's thread about being a house-guest and the risk of food poisoning.
