Mum and Dad were in Bali last year; three weeks after they got back, Mum was taken ill with a 'stomach problem' (you know the symptoms, won't go into detail!). Anyway, it got pretty serious, she was in hospital for 2 days on a drip. turned out she had a strain of cholera (!) which of course is a notifiable disease, so the Health Dept. was notified and they investigated. Amazingly, they were able to trace the bug back to not just Bali, but the actual restaurant (Green Garden Hotel) and meal (nasi goreng). Turns out it was the raw egg cracked over the meal.
