Leena’s intestine was grabbed by a protozoa in Montenegro

Seventies Leena A year ago, in April, I and his friend and his friend a week’s journey to Montenegro.

The package included accommodation, breakfast and dinner at the Carine Hotel Park, on the shore of the flickering Adriatic Sea.

The holiday went well until Leena’s stomach started to twist at the end of the week.

« It was such vomiting and diarrhea, I watched all night, » he says.

For the last full holiday day, I was slightly improved. He was able to take part in a four -hour boat trip.

On the day of home, the nausea started again. Leena describes that she has entered the airplane with the power of the imodium.

Symptoms and diarrhea attacks continued at home. He says he was in very poor condition.

Leena applied for a doctor’s packages and a campylobacter was found in her intestine. It was prescribed an antibiotic course. However, the findings did not end there.

Even the friend had had stomach problems after returning home. Giard was found in the small intestine.

It is a small fishing animal whose cyst forms can enter the human intestine, for example, from contaminated food or water or another person carrying it in their intestine.

Leena suffered for another week of diarrhea scenes and sweating. Weight dropped three pounds. He again applied for a doctor. Giard was also found in his bowel.

At its worst, it can cause very long -lasting and wavy diarrhea. When chronic, giardiasis can cause the small intestine’s intestine to atrophy and absorption disorders. It may take a long time to recover the intestine.

Leena and her friend are sure that Giardia came from the water of the hotel’s water points.

Friend The trip was organized by Albatros Travel. The market leader of the company Jaana Aalto Soerensen The company is aware of individual cases where customers have had a few days of stomach symptoms at Carine Hotel Park in April last year.

Soerensen writes that the company is not aware of more serious cases. He writes that Giardia can be obtained from a variety of sources.

According to Leena, the Albatros tour guide instructed them to use water points in the hotel corridors. The drinking water was taken with jugs into their own rooms.

« From time to time, the water intake point was unclean when everyone went to fill their bottles and jugs, » he says.

According to Soerensen, the water from the water points of the hotel is filtered and purified drinking water.

« Water quality is monitored and tested regularly. The hotel has provided us with a valid certificate of water quality, » he says by email.

Leena and friend were deeply disappointed with Albatros. Leena says that they complained to the company right after the trip, but did not get a concrete answer to the problems they raised.

« From the beginning, Albatros presented only empty -day apologies and good summer wishes, » he says.

According to Leena, the hotel could not buy bottled water. According to Soerensen, it could have been bought at the hotel bar.

However, Leena says that the restaurants were only in use for breakfast and dinner, and they couldn’t buy bottled water at the time.

Upon arriving at the hotel, his friend had asked where to get drinking water and the Albatros travel guide had been responsible for the water points in the corridors, according to Leena.

Leenan According to Albatros, Albatros gave a misleading picture of the hotel service level.

He and his friends have demanded damages for the illness and the problems caused by Albatros. Albatros believes that Giardia’s grip on the hotel cannot be demonstrated.

Leena and friend have appealed to the Consumer Disputes Board.

The Consumer Disputes Board confirms that the application is pending. The panel has not yet made a decision. HS has seen Leena and friend’s medical reports.

Leenan And the giardias of the friend’s giardia eventually healed with medication. However, they had to avoid public toilets and their acquaintances’ restrooms, as giardiasis could have been grabbed from them to others.

« All in all, the whole situation lasted almost four months. It took place during the summer and quarantine rules restricted our social life, » Leena says.

He hopes that at the same time at the hotel in question they would be seeking examinations if they suffer from stomach symptoms.

In 2023 Ilta-Sanomat told From the windwho had been at the same hotel on the way to another tour operator.

At that time, stomach disease circled at the hotel. Tuula had seen the waiters touch the food with bare fingers.

According to Tuula, the hotel had a particularly accurate rule that the rooms could not take their own drinks or foods, but that guests were encouraged to drink water from the hotel’s water points.

At that time, the tour operator also denied the matter and said that the bottle water bought elsewhere should have been taken to the rooms.

Leena only appears in the story with her second first name because the story deals with her health information.
