I got bit by a red ant and scratched by a wild cat on the same day in Koh Samui a few years ago. I thought i was dying,seriously ill,sweating like a Yid on a train.

 

In Warsaw in '99 watching England,i had the serious runs,so went to a chemist trying to explain my problem. they gave me some pills which i wolfed down. Turns out they were fucking laxatives. I was on the bog more than Bobby Sands handwriting

 

Nothing worse than being ill when miles away from home

I had fish curry for dinner and a different curry for tea for five days in a row in India (by choice). Had the shits on the 6th day bad. The Mrs had a domino's pizza whilst we stayed in watching slum dog millionaire.

 

Was like a shit Friday night at home!

I'm murder for picking up crap from hammering the air con. Ended up being unable to eat or, more importantly, drink when in Toulouse the other year watching Leyth.

Broke my arm on holiday but never been ill - must be a nightmare, horrible!

the Koh Samui one was horrendous. Took ages to get there via Dubai and Bangkok,thought i'd never get home.

when i was struck down,i thought the end was nigh,i was pissed through with sweat,honking and shitting non-stop.

 

went in a taxi to Chaweng,was sick several times en route,and ended up in a branch of Boots,i kid ye not,i thought i was hallunicating.

took some magic pills after almost meeting my maker and next morning i was back on my feet like Rambo and having Bangkok Bellinis by the pool before lunch.

 

nothing worse !!

sliced my toe open (nearly off) after the first 2 (great) dives (after a couple of beers) in Cuba

 

 

Couldn't dive for the rest of the holiday and hobbled around on flip flops 4 sizes too small

 

 

bugger

In Malia, my head swelled up, looked like a Southpark character.

That is grim, bet you felt like a shell of a man after all that!

Had a 4 day migraine in Corfu 1999. Didn't know what it was at the time but had a blinding headache every time I stepped out of the apartment into daylight. had to lie in a darkened room all day and it only subsided in the evening. My wife and kids renamed me "The Count"

i felt like a wanker on pop-idol when struck down but felt like Popeye the day after

 

honestly pal,thought i was a gonner over there and not coming home except in a box . had 13 mighty joe youngs in the night and not one was solid.

 

sam fox was over there at the same time (36dd and a fine handful before you ask) and caught either clap,malaria or rabies from a stray,mard cow. check out ''jumping spiders/koh samui''.......those fuckers are frickening

nowt wrong with getting your teeth into a nice steak

Went Ayia Napa and drank bleach by accident and i felt like i was close to death.

 

In Malia t'other year and i shat poo water for the whole week i was there, can't remember what i ate to cause it but it wasn't a nice experience considering the amount

of close calls i had and the lack of locks on the shithouse doors.

Sunstroke in Ibiza on my first trip abroad in 81, redder than a lobster and shaking like a shitting dog, I soon got acclimatised on future trips overseas.

Got bit on the foot by a sea urchin in Crete. Foot ballooned to twice it's size, local barman told me to wee on it. This had no effect.

 

Ended up at the hospital and they just gave me painkillers. When I got home went straight to A and E who said I'd be looking at amputation if I'd left it another week. Antibiotics sorted it.

Went Ibiza two years ago! I caught chicken pox about 5 days into a 7 day holiday. Went to the docs. Was told I couldn't fly for a week but my insurance would rearrange my flights and hotel for a week. I thought no problem a week extra in the sunshine.

 

Phones the insurance company let them know what's going on. Turns out because my original flight home was 12.05 my holiday ran into 8 days. So because I only had insurance for 7 I wasn't coverd! So got the mrs to put make up on the pox ony face. Booked a flight that afternoon and came home.

As it turns out it was a good job by the time I was home the pox had spread to my lungs and brain leading to about 3 months hospital treatment!!

Came home from Puerto Valarta with a little thing living inside me. Luckily it was a worm & not a cheggers kind of little thing.

Got my foot run over by a monorail when I was 14 on a German trip with school. Was bloody lucky and just bruised tendands....still numb to this day.

 

 

I got food poisoning in the Dominican republic and for 11 days had nothing but beer and crisps

 

 

It was when Greece won Eros 2004?

 

i was still ill so put it down to the crisps

That's an integral part of the holibob package, isn't it?

I agree here........you always read people on trip advisor saying they got a bad stomach etc. I go away expecting this, especially when you get different ingredients, cooking styles, hygiene etc. I wouldn't complain about it unless I was seriously ill. Just part and parcel of going abroad.
