maturebrit Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Its sad but its hard to say how or when the sickness happened. I had salmonela once and doctors told me basically how I got it but incubation can take up to 5 days before the real sickness shows signs Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its totally unbelievable that the Health Dept do not name this establishment ,sorry thats the PUBLIC health dept. regards Worgeordie You are right, it is somewhat unbelievable but remember this contention only comes from the deceased's family so the restaurant in question may be unjustly accused. Add to the fact, Thailand's draconian defamation laws which allows parties to sue you if it can be shown that you damaged their business or reputation and is a criminal not a civil offence. Add to the fact, there is a culture of not criticising those who have power or wealth. (self-preservation) So you see, it actually becomes quite believable and you will see this pattern repeated over and over of not publicly naming wealthy, connected or powerful people or businesses who have done some really very bad things. If you really wanted to know you could get on to Thai twitter networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not. I was just joking... I should've made it clearer I was joking.. There's always someone on here that will say 'it can happen anywhere'. I used to get food poisoning about 4 times a year here, and don't know if I've ever gotten food poisoning in Boston in 25 years living there, so.......... As you said, I believe it is much more common to happen here in Thailand.. And although anything can happen anywhere.. the chances of food poisoning are just a weeee bit higher here, in my opinion.

worgeordie Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Getting true facts here is nigh to impossible, the Public Health dept say the restaurant was selling contaminated fish ,in an other report I read, Restaurant clean nothing found, then another report Streptococcus, found but not the same strain that allegedly killed the student,then it was the students fault as she must have already been ill,as her friends where only a little ill. Confused ,I think we are meant to be, the most important fact is missing name of restaurant.its exactly the same when bacteria was found in 3 brands of toothpaste,which brands the public was never told !!!

Other presentations of group B streptococcal infection include pneumonia, skin and soft-tissue infections, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, peritonitis, and endo-ophthalmitis. Group B streptococcal infection in healthy adults is extremely uncommon, except in young and middle-aged women Group B streptococcal meningitis, a common manifestation of neonatal infection, is uncommon in adults. It is almost always associated with anatomical abnormalities contiguous with, or of, the CNS, usually as a result of neurosurgery" (my emphasis added) So reading your article in full, it seems that although extremely rare, if you get a group B streptococcal infection manifesting as meningitis (a bacterial infection in the brain), yes you can die from this.

So there you have it, we live on a bacterial planet, can't live with 'em and can't live without 'em. Which moo gata the young lady ate at is irrelevent, for the most part they stock cheap food and have typical local standards of cleanliness. This event should serve as a reminder to not consume under cooked meat, dont use the plate that you transported the raw meat on and dunk your chop sticks in the boiling soup trough before eating the cooked food. Three simple rules for moo gata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onionluke Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Oh, and remember to switch chopsticks between cooking chopsticks, and eating chopsticks at moo kata restaurants. Shouldn't the hot/cooking water take care of any "bacteria" on rhe chopsticks? There's no hot/cooking water involved in Korean BBQ. I have been to a few bbq places in Thailand and Korea that provide a hot plate with a bowl outer rim , this bowl contains broth . I try to avoid the pieces of meat cooked in the broth as it is often not at boiling temperature . Another thing that puts me off the food from the broth is it is all mixed up with no way of really knowing how long it has been in there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if the charcoal burns down, then maybe not boiling but most bacteria die at 160 F. so just very hot is good enough, I like the soup that forms from the dripping juices, I add ginger, mushrooms, garlic, vegies, and wun sen to make a great soup..... now I am hungery.
