I am Back!!!!!!!!

Just recovered from Vibrio parahaemolyticus...
I wasnt feeling very well when i woke up on the last day of the vacation.
I thought it was just a normal headache
but it got worst when I got on the plane..I had a sudden fever..
Kept pestering the air stewardess to give me water and cold tower..
Thankfully I managed to touch down at Singapore alive...

I google (
Vibrio parahaemolyticus)

Here is what i found

What is Vibrio parahaemolyticus?

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera. It lives in brackish saltwater and causes gastrointestinal illness in humans.


What type of illness is caused by V. parahaemolyticus?

When ingested, V. parahaemolyticus causes watery diarrhea often with abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, fever and chills. Usually these symptoms occur within 24 hours of ingestion. Illness is usually self-limited and lasts 3 days. Severe disease is rare and occurs more commonly in persons with weakened immune systems. A physician should suspect V. parahaemolyticus infection if a patient has watery diarrhea and has eaten raw or undercooked seafood, especially oysters, or when a wound infection occurs after exposure to seawater.

I ate oysters and sqiuds and tons of seafood during my vacation in Shanghai.muz have got it from one of the creatures...
