Cabo Sickness / Bug
 
Leaving for Cabo this weekend, and we've gotten a couple reports back that there is a nasty bug going around there. <BR><BR>Anyone have any details on this? Advice?

Hi, just back from Cabo on the 22nd. My husband and I both were sick the whole trip starting the 2nd day! He had the chills, cramps,aches and had to stay close to the bathroom. I wasnt that bad but the food seemed to make me nauseas and I think the ice got to me. We tried to avoid ice and water, but all the drinks have it, it is very hard. Not sure what made us sick, but we made the best of it!

you may want to take a look at the Gringo Gaz. Oct. 21 P.28 there was a Medical Warning on outbreak of Cholera in La Paz they think from the outdoor kiosks. Meat not properly refridgerated.<BR><BR>Chills , aches and cramps could be do to food poisioning. Did you eat shell fish , fish, meat 8 hours before the onset of the symptoms?<BR><BR>Most people get sick from tainted meat.<BR><BR>C<BR>
