Are Iranian Watermelons Safe ?
I love watermelons , you love watermelons we all love watermelons ...It helps to beat the heat . We drink less sodas if we have watermelon .. it has all kinds of benefit on our health ... it promotes heart health , blood flow , digestion , it makes our hair and skin beautiful ... and this is the number one fruit containing lycopene .
But what about the Iranian watermelons ? Are their safe enough to be given to our kids ? Such questions came up when Gulf countries of the Arab side are seriously opposed to the Iranian foreign policy . (see Yemen , Syria ) No wonder that such fears appear . I just wonder that they did not come earlier . Supermarkets were all selling happily Syrian fruits all these years !
Now the news about contaminated watermelons spread in the social medias .Officially nothing has been confirmed yet .
But what I noticed when having watermelons this year is that they are not ripe enough .Some of them were pale pink and tasted like cucumber .
So we decided to avoid watermelon until better quality is brought from a friendlier country .

Food poisoning came probably from a Turkish restaurant
Severe food poisoning cases were reported from Hamad hospital - 20 people became seriously ill - all had barbecue chicken on Saturday evening at a Turkish restaurant somewhere near Al-Ahli hospital .The police sealed off the place and investigations are going on .
The victims had very bad stomach ache and were vomiting some hours after having their dinner .Children and women -whole families became sick .A pregnant woman gave birth too early due to the abdominal pain of the poisoning . The baby is at the Intensive Care Unit now .
source
The local authorities are usually very strict with restaurants breaching the law and they close them for minor offences for months . The problem is the great fluctuation of the employees - they come to this country then go - then new ones come etc .This way it is extremely difficult to find reliable workforce in every field .
Personally , I will stay away from restaurants for a while . Right on the day of our arrival in this country we got terrible food poisoning -most probably in Egypt we had some salad with cheese the day before .Then for a half year we did not dare any restaurants in Doha . Once bitten twice shy !

FOOD POISONING ON THE RISE IN QATAR
There were more than 1600 reported cases of food poisoning in Qatar this year - while some years ago there were no more than 200 cases the whole year .It seems that eating out is not as safe here as it used to be .Just as we arrived in Qatar five years ago we got a terrible diarrhea - but we had thought that we picked that up in Cairo . Once we recovered -we were very cautious -and very rarely we dared to dine out .But everything seemed just fine - and we opt for food from restaurant quite often nowadays.
In Hungary an ill goat had spread viral meningitis last week . It seems so healthy and cool and trendy to drink fresh goat milk for your breakfast - but it is not ...
