? "Diarrhea, Vomiting" from your link. Trust me. I had it on a plane.

The thing is that you can never be positive that the poisoning comes from the last meal, a previous one, or getting germs in your hands somewhere else and having them transfered hands to mouth sonetimes inbetween. It is simply dishonest to accuse someone of food poisoning in a review unless statistics points to it (like an x amount of passenger of same flight suffering from the same symptoms).

  Did you understand my posting? I never said I got it on a plane. I said I HAD it on a plane. And I said, plane food is basically the least likely to give you food poisoning.

    > Did you understand my posting? Yes. Yes we did. You said “Think about what would happen, if XX% of the passengers get food poisoning.” Which kinda implies that you think it would have somehow disastrous consequences on the plane. While in reality symptomps often don’t appear fast enough for that. You also said “Airplane food is probably one of the safest in the world from this perspective.” for which you provided no source. Is this something you speculate? Or know as a fact? You also said “it was caused by food from the lounge in the airport in Addis Ababa”. And it is quite right pointing it out that you have almost no way you can be certain about that. > I never said I got it on a plane. Nobody says that you said that. We are talking about people who say they got it on the plane because that is what the influencer in question did.

And regards to food safety I was specific about food served on air planes, not in a lounge. "influencer in question did." Yes. And I think this is unlikely.

        Yes, in extreme cases illness can set in within an hour. But a) that isn't the typical case for food poisoning, and b) it isn't clear that even this short of a timeline would be enough for the flight in question as it's less than two hours long

    Your original post said > I indeed got food poisoning once on a plane. and it sounds like you meant that you experienced the effects of food poisoning on a plane. But most might read that as you saying you contracted it on a plane. Getting food poisoning and vomiting from said food poisoning are different. Most people refer to where they “got” food poisoning as the food source, not where the effects happen. Just a wording confusion here.

It's the timeline. It's not likely to occur during the flight
