A survivor's report
I don't know how well this story from the BBC's Vietnam service is known.It had been published back in february, but it is very interesting and informative. A survivor of the Avian Flu, Nguyen Thanh Hung tells his story just after having been released from hospital where both he and his brother had been patients. Hung was back at home with his wife and children, but his brother had died from his illness.
One thing is sure: they both consumed a Vietnamese dish, made with chopped congealed raw duck blood and herbs.
So, before reading the whole story, my question: how often do you eat raw duck blood?
The more you eat this, the more likely it is that you'll be sick!
