(By Brian Su) For
those of us on the road every week, good health is very important.
Every time when we dine with clients and friends, we truly enjoy our
gatherings and love the food we eat. I don't think many of us are ever
concerned about food safety issues as we always assume whatever we pick
and choose is good for us.
Early this week I was traveling in Utah and Arizona for project visits, the last meal we had in Phoenix caused major food poisoning, four out of five people including myself were in serious illness. Two were hospitalized. Medical doctors advised that we had food poisoning. I suffered great pain in my stomach and had high fever and diarrhea, however I managed to return home for medical care. It is very difficult to determine how safe the food we eat, however, taking extra caution is necessary for road warriors out there. If you ever encounter such situations, make sure you drink a lot of bottled Vitamin water and do not eat solid food until your body clears its system. Food poisoning can happen anywhere, not just in China. Up to now none of us have figured out which dish caused us such illness and pain, that sweet dessert tasted really good!
