For any particular combination of symptoms there's all sorts of possible causes. That's why they always say if you've had an overdose, or inadvertently drunk bleach, to take the bottle with you.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostHow come they don't know what type of poison was used?Down with racism.

My best wishes for her recovery. A truly awful story. Sounds like an especially virulent strain of E-Coli or Salmonella, that has caused some complications. Nasty.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hope they identify the poison soon...
Laterally I hear a number of arrests have been made with regards to the honeymoon couple that were murdered in Antigua -"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

hope she carries on on the mend OK!
re "something slipped in drink" - when this kind of thing happens, that is something that gets suggested a lot but when it gets to brass tacks it's very rarely the real explanation. Eating/drinking something dodgy/far too much is a lot more common. (I know that doesn't actually help matters..)Comment
