I am SICK of being sick!

General
Hello, everyone
Soooo…the trip has been going well so far…except that I’ve had 2 food poisonings for the past week :/
First one was pretty OKAY I guess.
The last one two days ago went terrible and resulted in awful fever which we successfully beaten…but I’ve overestimated myself thinking that I could eat normally again, heh.
Aaaand now we’re back to my stomach constantly ejecting all the food that I ate today from my mouth and back into the abyss of a toilet.
Just a friendly tip to anyone who ever planning to have a vocation in Indonesia (Bali specifically):
- drink ONLY bottled water. Never drink local water from faucets:
- DON’T try drinks with ice in them (since it’s most likely made from frozen faucet water);
- DON’T eat raw vegetables, not even in cafes or food restaurants (since, again, it could’ve been washed in bad water).
My first poisoning - lettuce leaves washed in a faucet water.
My second poisoning - staff of a restaurant who forgot that I asked juice without ice in it.
And getting violently sick in a hot tropical country is not bueno! Luckily I had my family there with me.
As a person who almost never gets sick from food…my body is quite in a shock right now and not gonna lie IM A LITTLE AFRAID TO EAT ANYTHING NOW.
I’m chugging water like crazy and hoping for the best. Hoping that it’ll past tomorrow.
So, stay safe, everyone!
And be VERY careful with food you’re eating, especially in foreign countries.
Have a nice day!

Yeah that's one of my biggest fears about traveling.
The US is pretty pampered with our water laws. I usually only drink bottled water anyways, but it's easy to forget when you're brushing your teeth or so...
Hope you feel better soon. Stomach sickness has to be one of the worst. Only thing I hate more is respiratory stuff, cuz you tend to forget how easy it is to breathe, until it's not so easy anymore haha.
