Yes, he says it was the Lebanese restaurant inside the Intercontinental
Hotel in Bahrain.

We're staying at the Hotel IC this Summer, but it's the one in
Chicago. Is there any history of folks getting sick from American
lamb?

One of the nice things about living in St. Louis is its proximity to
Chicago, and it goes both ways. For anyone visiting Chicago--or
anywhere in IL--over the next few months (thru Jun 14), Best Western
has a good promotion going on. Details if anyone is interested.

My coworker's problems with parasites should not be taken as any reflection
on the Intercontinental chain of hotels. That chain has an excellent
reputation, and I've enjoyed staying in several of them. (Bahrain, London,
Tampa, and San Francisco, to be specific.)

I myself have eaten in the Lebanese restaurant I mentioned, and I would be
happy to eat there again. You just have to be sensible in what you eat.

I'm not aware of any history of people getting sick from eating American
lamb, but that doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't happened. I'd check with
the CDC if I were worried about that kind of thing.

living in fear of lamb, beef, or raw eggs yolks doesn't strike me as being
particularly appealing.
