Virus in calis Fethiye

[raygans]

Lol Stoop we are going to do the mud baths this year best tell the missus to keep quiet I wonder how long it will last

[Jacqui Harvey]

So, Stoop how to they clean the mud?  Do they clean the mud?  What is in the mud?  No way for us, no appeal at all.  No use keeping your mouth shut when all the rest of your body is covered in the muck.

Jacqui,

I think if the mud baths were a health problem we would all have heard before now!
Don't knock it until you've tried it. It's a great day out and very good value for money.

I would compare me sitting in a load of smelly mud that people are doing unspeakable things in as likely as me gong to Primark to buy my next outfit with matching bag and shoes.      

I also think that if the Mud Baths were a health problem we would never hear about it, just like the way people pile onto Jeep Safaris or Jump off Mountains every year....no health problem there?   

[stoop]

So we don't hear about the jeep safari accidents then? What planet are you on?

And what's with the unspeakable things? Do you actually think people do that in the mud? Try peeing in mud. Not done it but I would imagine it's not that easy to be honest.

As for Primark - that just makes you look a bit of a snob Jacqui - sorry. I know friends who shop there and own real Mulberry handbags not copies from Calis or Fethiye.

Anyway - enough of this. I hope those affected make a full recovery and they find out the cause. At least the mud baths aren't implicated   

[Jacqui Harvey]

Stoop I was joking about Primark, it was a wind-up.   However, I do not buy fake bags for myself.  I prefer the real thing and for a savvy shopper the sales are great for designer bags.  Tell you friends Mulberry have an online sale at the moment.
As for the Jeep Safari's people are always encouraged to book them, even by Thomas Cook. they don't know the dangers.

Hello, I've just noticed this thread, we stayed in Calis 19th - 29th May. The day after we arrived home I had terrible vertigo, never had it before, a day or two later I was really poorly, sweating, shivering, stomach cramps, aching, severe flu symptoms & kept visiting the loo but was not sick. I just drunk fluids for a couple of days as couldn't keep anything in, then gradually ate some toast and crackers.  I don't think I have felt that ill since having Asian flu in Thailand over 20 years ago. This eventually turned into what I would call strange head cold, sinus's, ears blocked & irritating cough with temperature.  Lasted about one & half weeks of feeling really rough.

We're going back to Calis in August, I was wondering if it was from the flight or air conditioning, (I had the air conditioning blowing directly on me at night), I certainly don't want it back again!

All fine now, looking forward to August ;-)

There is a stomach bug called campylocter, which obviously upsets your stomach and can give you flu symptoms etc. My Husband and I caught it a few years back whilst in Fethiye. I think it takes a short while before the bacteria takes hold. My husband started with flu symptoms, then the stomach issue followed. The doctor can diagnose it, but the main thing with this is to maintain hygiene with hand washing and washing clothes at 60 degrees to kill germs.

Apparently, it can be caught from contaminated chicken, water, stroking cats and I believe mushrooms.

We had a chicken kebab in a shop where the guy was using his mobile whilst and touching the food , we did stroke cats owned by restaurants, we had mushrooms from the market and on this occasion we had spring water from the mountains of Uzumlu.
