A severe food poisoning outbreak linked to a kebab shop in Abergavenny, Wales, in the UK has left at least one victim still suffering from health complications more than a year later. John Inglesby, 76, is among over 50 customers who contracted shigella bacteria after eating at Marmaris Kebab House in February 2023. Food Poisoning News reported on this story last month.
Inglesby’s ordeal began when he visited the kebab shop shortly after returning to work following his wife’s death, according to The Sun. What should have been a comforting meal turned into a nightmare as he experienced severe symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sweats. A visit to the doctor confirmed he had contracted shigella, a highly contagious intestinal infection spread through contaminated food.
