The way Thai doctors dish out antibiotics like sweets, I wouldn't be surprised if many of these bugs are resistant to them as well.
Millions come here as tourists each year, how many die? With a million people, some are going to die anyways. She just hit the lottery. She should have stayed home and watched the tele on her sofa smoking her cigarettes and downing her beer.
No shit, harry...you just can't educate these "fools" about this...Quote:

If water borne infection was the cause, she has either allowed some to enter her mouth, or it has entered her body via a break in her skin. In both cases, it was preventable.

"Unable to keep food down" implies it was ingested.
Washing your hands frequently (and properly), preferably with a decent antibacterial soap or handwash, is one of the best ways to avoid catching 'flu and other bugs.
Not doing so is a great way to increase your risk of infection.
I got a small cut on finger just above the nail before taking a shower in a hotel in Korat, next day it was infected. Fought it off with repeated rinsing (hydrogen peroxide) but could never kill it off permanently until I got back to the States and started applying some antibiotic cream twice a day. Finally killed it off but took a small chunk of skin with it.
Also met a fellow who got a mysterious flesh eating ailment on his arm that sent him off to the UK for treatment and has a nasty scar to prove it.
Some nasty shit floating about in Thailand, even in the "clean" water.
More than just a little...comprehension ain't his strong point...let alone plain reading...Quote:

What wasnt reported was that the coroner in fact also stated that it may have been natural causes that led to my mums death. Suppose that wouldnt make such interesting news hence why the heartless reporters have jumped on the Thailand bandwaggon, without sparing a thought to how we may feel at this surprise greeting the front page of our local newspaper days after the inquest. May i also add that my mum died this year 11th April, and not immediately after the 2004 tsunami. I could say its more than the reporters who are heartless.....

Sorry about your mum Jemma and about the press. Not very nice when they get involved. The press in Thailand is 10 times worse though so at least she passed away back home.
It doesnt bear thinking about what might have happened if she was still in thailand.
