Well, I didn't report it to the health authorities on Rhodes. So I'm not sure how many others might have. And not watching the Greek news, I wouldn't know if they even had called for data.
I just dealt with it for 5 days. Imodium was ineffective and a pharmacist finally gave me something called Ercefuryl, which knocked it down after 2 doses. He did say that if that didn't work, I'd need to go to the hospital.
Maybe it wasn't e coli, but it was terrible and because of the timing, I know it was from that coffee service (water, carafe, cup, FA's hands, or some such).
As I said, chances are 1000-1 you get sick from airplane water, but for me, one time was plenty. I'm gun shy now.
