Other travellers share their stories
The post prompted users to discuss their own experiences.One commenter wrote, “I became lactose intolerant when I moved to the US. Also can’t eat gluten anymore. Grew up in India, on these things, never had issues!”Another said, “I only had food poisoning once, and it was in the US. It was bad, though. I had to go to the emergency room. Don’t ask me about the bill.”A third user recalled, “First meal in Hue, Vietnam had me on the toilet for 4 days straight.”One more person offered this observation: “Either you have a weak kind of immunity, or you have tasted some of the worst places of these particular countries, or you have insane luck.”The comments brought together a range of personal experiences, with users discussing the different times and places where they had fallen ill after eating.Disclaimer: This article is based on information shared on social media and statements attributed to the people involved.
