Cause of Team Illness

Well, I would like to add an update to the previous post.  It turns out that it is unlikely that it was something in the buffet that caused the illness, but it was.....

BOTTLED WATER!!!!  Yes, that's right bottled water that we receive from the hotel.

Each day, we are given 2 SEALED bottles of water.  I don't think any of us really inspected the water extremely closely and trusted that the water we were being given was clean (especially because the label said it was clean spring water and it was freshly sealed).

Needless to say, one of the members on our team happened to inspect the water bottle a little more closely today, as we all sat outside eating crackers and dry toast, and noticed something funny.....

From a first glance, nothing looks wrong.... right?

But then you look closer and you see little brownish-yellow floaty things ALL in the water! What that is - I don't even want to know.  My stomach is still a little quesy so I can't go into too much detail without having to quicly rid myself of the crackers and toast.

Anyway, mystery solved and immediately actioned.  The resort felt very badly and will be dealing directly with the vendor, and of course, from now on, we are getting plastic seal-covered water bottles!

Thought you might all be interested :)
