I think it was 2024 we went to Vienna and then onto Munich. The first full day in Munich started off ok but late afternoon something just didn't seem right. When I could not eat any of the dinner I had to get to the hotel. I'm not sure if I was partially dehydrated, caught a virus or had food poisoning but I felt like I needed to throw up but couldn't. We called the paramedics who took my vitals and gave me an IV. Then a doctor came to give me something that supposedly would help calm my stock.

Then from 8pm to about 4am I was constantly sick. I always also terribly tired but every movement just seemed to make me sick again and I didn't want to get sick while sleeping. Finally it stopped and I slept the entire next day except for sipping water and ginger ale. Finally the following day I took a shower and made plans to cut the trip short. I didn't eat anything for 3 full days and then it took a while to slower regain my appetite.

I had always feared getting sick like that on the road and avoided it for many decades until something got me. I wish I knew for sure whether it was something I ate or just a virus. Once about 20 years ago I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning and for about 8 hrs on a Sunday I was sick and took a couple of days off work while I regained my footing.

Stay well. And yeah, I'm a big believer of "if in doubt, throw it out".
