I had food poisoning from a PanAm flight. Again this comes down to being certain it was that food. Presumably you had been eating other stuff in the days leading up to the flight, yeah? -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

I had food poisoning from a PanAm flight. I had food poisoning from a 'restaurant' at ORD. (which isn't in Europe) I also had an upset stomach whilst on a flight from Peru to Amsterdam. (which is Europe) We often had an upset stomach after travelling with KLM from Adam to Milan. By a process of elimination we worked out that it was caused by the orange juice. Mine started before the flight (it was probably the cebiche) so was definately not KLM's fault, my dilema was do I stay in Peru have all the hassles of insurance claims for the missed flight and try out Lima's healthcare system, or see if I can get to the airport without collapsing and survive until getting home. The latter worked. PanAm was a different story, I was so ill I wanted to die. Hopefully my Virgin flight later today will be upset stomach free. |

The latter worked. Cebiche is devastating. I ate it just once, here in France, at a place called Café Pacifico, which served Mexican/South American food. I ate the cebiche. Later in the evening, I had one of the worst food poisoning reactions I have ever had. My face swelled. My throat started to close. That one really frightened me, but fortunately I still had enough time to take some prescription antihistamines I had left over from another problem. My throat swelling subsided, and I made it through the night without having to call SOS Médecins, our emergency medical service that comes to the house. The next day I went to a regular doctor, someone I didn't know because my own doctor was on vacation, he was on call. He asked me to show him a photo of myself, so he could know what I normally looked like. It was that bad. Moral of the story. Stay away from cebiche. Especially in the back streets of Lima. |

[] To contrast to that behavior, we once took Air France first class from NY to Paris. Same dog but in our carrier. Shortly after takeoff a flight attendant (French) said that we "certainly weren't going to keep" our little toutou stay closed up in the horrible box for the flight. So we let him out. Later on, after dinner, the same person came up and said that unfortunately they were out of lamb but would our dog like some sliced duck? Certainly! This, of course, occurs at three star restaurants in France, our dogs have been served with food on silver plates at times. Years ago we bought a book VIP Chiens, which listed all the places in France which accept dogs. That's very nice for you and your dogs. For those who are allergic to dogs, it could be far less pleasant. At least in a restaurant, they can leave. On a flight, it's more difficult to do so. I didn't know airlines still allowed animals in the main cabin. I have to say, I've never seen it happen, but I've noticed animals in boxes at airports- for flights going to the UK, I wouldn't expect to, for obvious reasons. -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

[] Moral of the story. Stay away from cebiche. I've never had a problem, but I don't think I've ever eaten it in a restaurant either- always had it homemade- by Peruvians! I've also made it myself (albeit usually under Peruvian supervision!)- it's one of my favourite seafood dishes in fact. It sounds more like this is a hygeine problem with the restaurants- I'm assuming for example that raw fish doesn't affect you similarly? Although home made ceviche will even keep overnight in the fridge with no problem, it's one of the reasons I've never been too keen on ordering it in a restaurant- that is, it is by its nature prepared in advance. -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |
