Update: Another Dominican Republic death: Retired Ohio police officer died while traveling with wife, family says

Dominican Republic tourist says flight was full of sick passengers


A Mississippi woman who went on a mother-daughter trip to the Dominican Republic says she fell ill — and, adding insult to injury, was stuck on a miserable return flight filled with passengers suffering from similar symptoms.

Tracy McCraw, of Madison, said she wasn’t the only one with flu-like symptoms on the plane home last month from her five-day trip to Punta Cana.


She said she arrived at the Royalton Punta Cana resort on May 21 for a trip to celebrate her daughter’s high school graduation with a group of other moms and daughters.

But after the first day, the mom became sick with a 102-degree fever and a stomach ache.

“It wasn’t like a stomach virus, and I’ve had the stomach virus and food poisoning before,” McCraw said.

California Man Reveals He Felt 'Sick Enough to Die' While on Dominican Republic Vacation

A Los Angeles man says he had a drink from his hotel room's minibar and quickly began to shiver and feel delirious like he was "in a dream"

Before the reception started, Duff and Gomez, 39, went back to their room for a few drinks, which they grabbed from the minibar, he says. He had rum, and his husband had tequila.
During their friend’s reception, he began to feel chills and feverish. It was enough for him to excuse himself from the celebration and return to his room.

“I started feeling delirious like I was in a dream,” he says. “I was really scared.”

He called the resort’s physician who told him, “You look really bad,” he recalls.

She thought Duff might have a tropical disease and urged him to take a taxi — there are no ambulances, he says — to the nearest emergency room.

Woman says husband died in Dominican Republic last year, similar to recent deaths of Americans there


Dawn McCoy was preparing to mark the one year anniversary of her husband David Harrison’s death on July 14th in the Dominican Republic because she feels his spirit is there.

Now, she’s canceled her trip because she was shocked to hear about the recent deaths of three other Americans in the country.


McCoy’s husband’s autopsy also blames pulmonary edema but references a heart attack as well.

“He just kept saying he didn’t feel right... he didn’t feel good,” said McCoy.

McCoy says her husband, who was just 45 years old when he died, was in good health, but after feeling sick one night he woke up early in the morning unable to breathe.

She says she called repeatedly for an ambulance but says they would only call for a doctor and it took more than 20 minutes.



McCoy says she’s not surprised — she stayed at a different resort but says in all it cost $20,000 dollars to get her husband home.

“The hotel doctor costed almost $3,000 and they would not let us check out until I paid that,” said McCoy. “It’s like a scab reopened.”

No, the Dominican Republic hasn't suddenly become more dangerous


Early Sunday, Skylar Martin of Hanover, Virginia, was taken to the hospital after she spent six miserable hours in her room and lost consciousness at a resort in the Dominican Republic.

Martin and her husband were married last month, and they were in the country on their honeymoon.

"I had a fever," Martin told NBC affiliate WWBT of Richmond, Virginia. "I was in and out of consciousness for a while. I would wake up to vomit. My body would wake itself up to get more out."

She said doctors in the Dominican Republic speculated that it might have been a blood infection, but the exact cause of her illness is still unknown.

The CDC, meanwhile, warns would-be tourists that drinking the country's tap water can open them to risk of hepatitis A, typhoid and cholera. The agency is currently warning travelers about an increase in report of rabies in Punta Cana; last year, the Zika virus was a big concern.

The non-profit International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers even devotes a section on its website to "travelers' diarrhea" in the Dominican Republic.

Mass hysteria.


Butt whats the deal with all these mini bar users...does the mini bar come as part of the all inclusive ???

Or are these sik fukz paying big money for their poison?

I alwaze avoid resorts and live out with the locals when traveling.

NY Post had a picture of one mini bar that was stocked with regular size bottles of booze on tap

It must be inclusive at some places and very easy to tamper with

A lot of these cases are people drinking or eating contaminated food and water

Didn't you post a story somewhere that they are cutting this liquor with methanol or something like that?

Yep, here in the states people complain about watered down booze

It was a bootlegger story

radiation. some are more sensitive.

A post from one of your threads a few days ago. In the article:

Methanol is a type of alcohol not safe for humans. It is regularly used as antifreeze.

“Adulterated alcohol is usually methanol added to alcohol or just plain methanol, which is very, very toxic,” Kobilinsky said.

I’m leaning toward this being the culprit in many of these deaths

I don't think this could all be booze, although some incidents might be. Sounds like a larger scale cause - something like Legionnaire's Disease perhaps? Or some other tropical disease perhaps yet undiscovered, but hopefully not contagious to the rest of us (don't forget - half that island is HAITI). Or possibly widespread pesticide poisoning as I've heard a lot of people mention how much spraying there was during their stay.

They try to limit the cause of something, localize or trivialize it, make it sound like an aberration, like alcohol from minibars, but this sounds more widespread.

I wonder if the native population of DR has been experiencing any widespread sickness. No one asks this.

To me, the fact that NONE of the news media looks into whether the native population of DR is being affected by similar illnesses, shows the terrible state of journalism in the US today.

Maybe people should re-consider both the safety of going to these 3rd world shit holes for "vacations" and also the wisdom of letting all the undocumented 3rd worlders in here. Might wake up even some of the "woke" morons.

A few people have been tested back in US

E.Coli has been the culprit

No kidding, and nothing from other countries so far, just Americans

What's a TV personality? My TV has been off for 8 years and has no personality. I really, really like it that way.

I’ve never heard of her, I think it’s reality tv, dancing with the stars and bachelor are what’s written in the article

Sounds like someone in the liquor supply chain is trying to extort money from the resorts then.

Pay up or we poison the booze...bad PR = loss revenue.

The prolly tried to shakedown big fat papi for hiz whoring around etc butt he told them no...so they shot hiz fat azz. Course could be unrelated.

Butt extortion likely.

I’m not sure

To me it sounds more like bootleggers are selling them cheaper booze and they are repackaging it in the old bottles

Why do so many people spend money to travel to a third world shithole when they could just go to any major city in the US and have the same experience. The open borders globalists are just trying to save us money.

The son of a woman who died there got help from the US embassy

He’s only getting vials of blood and urine from his mother to be tested here

The resort has given him conflicting reports on how she was found

He doesn’t have enough money to have her body shipped back

Wow

I had to go there once for a destination wedding. What a shithole. The resorts have a line of guards on the beach, on each side, to keep out the locals from the resort beach. the line of guards have clubs in their hands to beat any local that tries to sneak in. Very relaxing knowing you're in a shithole 3rd world country with only 8 foot wall surrounding the resort. People go because its cheap. I would not want to be there if shit ever really went down.

Please be careful when you shower- that you don't let any water come in your mouth.

No thanks!

Expert Says Deaths in the Dominican Republic Are ‘Very Strange’: ‘Something Is Very Wrong’

Investigators are trying to determine what has sickened and killed several American tourists in the island nation.


“It’s definitely very strange,” Reynold A. Panettieri Jr., a physician at Rutgers who specializes in toxicology and is not directly involved in the investigations, tells PEOPLE.

“Healthy people don’t just die.

And the couple dying at the same time certainly tips us off that something is very wrong.”

Survey of area morgues would be a start. how many Americans, locals etc? Demand records. FBI could do this
