Re: 10 Years And Counting

Just out of curiosity, did anybody suffer from a case of food poisoning?

Robert

There were several people, including me that got quite ill. I don't think
it was related to the food, but who knows.

Everyone knows that Canadian water will kill you.

/me was sick on Sunday. I was feeling a lot better on Monday though,
so I don't know if it was some 24hr flu or food :(

That's probably it then. Only a few settled for water. The rest of us made it OK ;-)

I assume you're referring to that awful canadian whisky we had. in which
case that was certainly so.
If not, then I'm still blaming Simon :-P

It's not remarkable for unfamiliar water to have some, erm,
"inconvenient" effects. My brother in Flower Mound, Texas finds that
visiting Kitchener, an hour west of Toronto, always causes a little
trouble the first day or so to some of his family, due to differences
in the flora in the water.

They also find that milk doesn't taste quite right anywhere but home.
(And the adjustment again isn't long or insurmountable...)

All these explained the problem I had. I drank 2-3 glass milk every
morning. So Magnus, no need to blame Simon :-)

I had no milk, so I'll continue blaming Simon ;-)

Seriously, this was actually a stomach flu that Simon inadvertantly brought
over. He got it from his kids before leaving, and got sick the day he
arrived.

Yeah, except in his defence I was with him for most of a day before we
got to Toronto and didn't catch it, so it could have been something else
entirely that everyone else got.

I like the whiskey theory. Man that was *bad*.

Hi all,

> Just out of curiosity, did anybody suffer from a case of food poisoning?

+1!

I had serious gastro-enteritis from 9 to 12 july. Hopefully I took
medecine against it from home, in case of need.

("SMECTA":diosmectite:
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System:
A07B Intestinal adsorbents
A07BC Other intestinal adsorbents
A07BC05 Diosmectite
)

I remember feeling ill after "ribs" at the Hard-Rock Café in Toronto,
were I ate definitely too much. :-)

But as many said, maybe more related to water or flora differences.

Cheers,

I drank a lot of water in Toronto and Quebec and I'm still alive :-) I
didn't suffer any food poisoning either. The original russian vodka may
have helped though ...
