In reply to Ken. Nine days is long! I've had food poisoning a few times since I wrote this post but this one still clocks as the worst. I've also learned better coping mechanisms and self-treatment, for sure.

In reply to Andi. Sounds like she enjoyed the poo-l and the poo-poo-sas! I got food poisoning in El Salvador from eating a raw egg, I could not eat anything solid for 9 days afterwards, but I never considered visiting a hospital over it. I used to get food poisoning quite regularly in Nicaragua years ago, when they used to often experience power outages, which likely had something to do with it, food either being or not being properly refrigerated.

In reply to Gearoid McSweeney. I've definitely learned my coconut lesson and now reach for them whenever I'm feeling dehydrated or under the weather :)

What a pity that you got so sick! I spent 7 years in Asia and I only got badly sick once (in the Philippines). Peta is right about the coconuts. I was in Vietnam (where I used to live in Asia) and the Viet Cong used to use it as an intravenous drip! Despite your sickness, this is a great post that includes plenty of great tips for travellers to El Tunco. I hope to get there in 2018. Fingers crossed that I won’t repeat your experience or my experience in the Philippines!

I love El Salvador! I’m excited to have a new destination to look forward to. I’m actually writing a paper on life in El Salvador at the moment and have been inspired to write about living in El Tunco specifically. Thank you! 🙂

Beautiful! One of the things I love most about your site is that because of the experiences you have and locations you choose, I get to discover-by-proxy places I may never have on my own. I’m glad you were okay and still got to see a bit of the town!
