Beware!!!

Have to be quick but just wanted to give you all the heads up in case you all plan on going to Tobago after Carnival :) - from www.trinidadexpress.com


9 More Tobago Tourists Fall Ill

County Medical Officer of Health in Tobago, Dr Mentor Melville, is threatening to close down the kitchen of the Rex Turtle Beach Hotel after nine more European tourists fell ill yesterday with symptoms of gastroenteritis after having dinner.
More visitors were treated for symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea yesterday.
This brings the total number of tourist affected to 60.
Some of them have already checked out and sought other accommodation on the island.
Dr Melville said a preliminary report from the Trinidad Public Health Laboratory was delayed, as food and water samples from the kitchen of the hotel, along with stool samples from the nine visitors affected yesterday was sent for testing.
Dr Melville said the results from the lab would determine the next course of action.
