Man in Thailand falls ill after eating sticky rice that contained dead gecko<\/h2>\n

A 51-year-old food delivery rider in Thailand was shocked after discovering a dead gecko in his sticky rice bought from a roadside stall.<\/p>\n

Sharing his experience in a Facebook group on Friday (16 Jan), he said he had fallen ill after eating the food.<\/p>\n

“I have eaten a lot of it. I’ve been nauseous since 7am and have not felt any better. I just visited a doctor, and I need to take sick leave from work. Anyone can recommend medicine for the symptom. Now I’m still feeling sick,” the rider wrote.<\/p>\n

Only spotted it when he nearly finished his food<\/h3>\n

The rider, later identified as Suthep (name transliterated from Thai), told the media that while picking up his girlfriend from work, he stopped to buy a wrap of sticky rice with fermented pork.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving home, he began eating and had nearly finished the meal when he spotted a black object.<\/p>\n

Initially, he thought it was mould, but his girlfriend questioned it, noting that the rice was fresh and still warm.<\/p>\n

After poking at the object, they realised with horror that it was not mould but a house gecko.<\/p>\n

Vomited uncontrollably & developed diarrhoea<\/h3>\n

“I felt fine while I was eating it, but the moment I realised what it was, I started vomiting uncontrollably,” Mr Suthep said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, he developed severe diarrhoea that lasted from 7am until noon, leaving him completely exhausted and weak.<\/p>\n

Unable to bear the symptoms, he sought medical attention. The doctor then prescribed anti-nausea medication and oral rehydration salts.<\/p>\n

While his condition has improved slightly, he has not yet fully recovered, reported Thai news outlet Naewna.<\/p>\n

Decided not to hold shop responsible<\/h3>\n

At first, Mr Suthep intended to hold the shop accountable, but after reconsidering, he felt pity for the owners.<\/p>\n

Instead, he planned to visit the shop the following day to inform them about the incident.<\/p>\n

He also called upon relevant agencies to conduct random hygiene inspections of roadside stalls and warned the public to be careful when buying food from street food vendors.<\/p>\n

He noted that the shop in question is very popular, especially during the morning rush, and typically sells very well.<\/p>\n
