CAFE, Tangiers, Morocco

5 years ago

My friend and I got food poisoning from Cafe Tingis in Tangier, a cafe on the square that we figured would be safe because there were plenty of locals eating there. We both had omelettes with some sort of soft cheese, which tasted fine at the time,... See More but caused us to start vomiting and having diarrhea the next day. We had to go get IVs to rehydrate and it took me about 3-4 weeks to get back to normal as it turned into a salmonella infection. Took 1 week of antibiotics to start feeling better after doing a blood and stool test. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting See Less
