Why are people still visiting this damned place?
probably getting a coctail of bacteria from swimming in the water, drinking the water, eating the food... including e-coli and many others
As I said in another thread, stay out of s-—hole countries, folks. I don’t care how cheap vacations there are. There are good reasons why they’re cheap. Folks with money and brains stay the hell away.
I thought the Queen Mom died years ago.
People just don’t understand the level of cleanliness and medical care we have in the USA. Clean water for one. They just take for granted it’s that way everywhere. Death might be coming to you in something as simple as the ice cubes in your drink and home made alcohol they sell as the real deal down there.
The Queens Mum has been dead for a while.
Not sure how she could be the “latest” to die when it happened over a year ago. Some of these deaths that are being reported happened years ago. Did the DR piss off some reporter or news outlet and this is their revenge?
What makes this place “embattled”?
My question is: Are any locals dying? If not it has to be something tourist related.
Diabetes,on dialysis, trip to hot climate, different diet.
What could possibly go wrong?
If you have major health issues, maybe you’d better only travel to first world countries? This woman was on dialysis - usually it’s hemodialysis three times weekly at a center, or peritoneal dialysis at home nightly. Did she skip sessions, and how many?
To me it sounds like someone used wood alcohol or methanol instead of ethanol for drinks. Kidney failure is one of the symptoms....

Id like to see how many people died within 2 years of staying at the Ramada Inn in Los Angeles, or New York. Or anywhere.
That’s some seriously bad juju!
You know you keep on hearing rumors that ebola has escaped from the Congo and is now spreading other places. Tourists have been mysteriously dying in Fiji too.
This happen over a year ago according to the article.
Read a personal account from someone who had been there and got sick. Just recently. From her remarks, it seems likely that staff has been stealing alcohol for themselves and replacing it with something else.
She had diabetes and was on Dialysis!!!
