Worst thing you caught on Holidays?

caseyann

I was listening to the radio and it was very interesting,talking about nasty things you caught abroad :eek:
One girl spoke about nasty blisters she got all over her,along with other people she was with.And when she went to the doctors in Fiji,they couldn't tell her what it was.
They gave her penicillin and sent her on her way.Every time a blister burst and where the puss landed another one grewLuckily they found a nice new zealander who brought them to better part of fiji and they saw a better doctor.
On top of that they were told lucky was on outside if had of been inside they would have died:eek:

So any nasties happen to you or someone you know away

This only started because Cheryl Tweedy, not Cole, caught Malaria...and she deserved it....doesn't anyone in radio have an original idea...

There. I said it.

Whenever I travel anywhere I get the scuts more liquified than coffee in a blender. Great when in Turkey and you have to put your rorschach smear of a wipe in a little open bin so the place stenches up like the inside of sulphur factory.

I've traveled a fair bit all over the world and have never caught anything bad. Think the worst was sun-stroke but that wasn't that bad compared to some diseases.

This thread is particularly well suited to asinine one line responses.

For me it was dysentery during a foot race across the Sahara. That was last years MdS a significant amount of the camp went down with it.

Sunburn so bad that the backs of my knees were cracked and weeping. That learned me to fall asleep on the beach.

It was just normal AIDS

Canard

My throat got bumps all over it so bad that I couldn't eat or drink, and swallowing saliva hurt so I just spat it all into a bucket..
I forget the name of it. But I got it in Wales and then again here in Ireland so its nothing exotic.

Full blown sun stroke and I was careful to sit under the umbrella all day drinking my beer, it was the wind what did it. Had the worst hangover and sun stroke and constant told ya so in my ear the whole night.

Personally I'd prefer the Sharks than the bugs.

Some people seem to attract insects though. One of the lads seems to have the same effect as a well done piece of sirloin steak on them....tics, leeches, fly bites...even had a moth in his ear once.

Svetti Arss

Never caught anything myself, but I can regale you all with a story told in person to me by a person who was my wifes employer in that there London and was a top gynecologist in a major hospital.

She told me a group of woman presented to her clinic with similar symptoms. These wimmin had all been on holiday together in some really hot country (Name Forgotten) and had all swam in the same lake. A fish or insect had decided to hitch a ride and caused <ahem> some big problems a few days later.

There is a service port on the other side of the island though with a supermarket for those not looking to recreate a scene from The Beach.

My mate got scabies when we were travelling in Budapest I think it was. Mega contagious and spread to everyone in the group apart from me (I avoided him like the plague!)

Was nasty! Literally looked like a rash was eating him alive!

No-one deserves malaria, but she is very foolish if she didn't take her anti-malarial tablets. Either that or she was extremely unluckly (typical anti-malarial Malarone is 98 per cent effective, and the two per cent is probably down to user error)
