El Nido Ice Water Illness - El Nido, El Nido MIMAROPA

El Nido, MIMAROPA, Philippines

The whole family ate the same food on the boat trip; after 12 hours, everyone had to vomit little by little. We ate: food from the boat trip, coconut water and bowl, mango shakes, drinks with ice cubes. The suspicion is that the ice used for shakes and drinks was made with bottled tap water. It could also have been in combination with too much sun. However, we were told by locals that the water in El Nido was known to cause gastrointestinal problems. | Symptoms: Vomiting
