Cambodia News (Kampot Province): At 6:00 pm on January 21, 2022, around 30 people became sick after enjoying eating and drinking at a party at a Provida purified water facility.

28 people were admitted to the Kampot health center and 6 were sent to a private clinic, and all of them were diagnosed with food poisoning. The cause of the poisoning was suspected to be unwashed vegetables.
All the patients have recovered and were discharged the next afternoon.

So like 30 people with food poisoning and how many toilets? Shitty situation indeed.

Is it normal to go to the hospital for food poisoning though? Never crossed my mind before.

If you get it bad enough, with mass evacuation of body fluids from both ends, for hours on end, until you are literally drained of everything yet the gagging and gut wrenching continues, and then feeling of impending death, you'll be happy at the sight of a hospital and doctor and an IV drip.

Been there, never want to return.

Fair enough, never had it that bad.
Fucking vegetables, I always knew they were evil!

Nothing beats an intravenous dose of antibiotics combined with a salty drip when it comes to this kind of stuff.

In Cambodia that is....
