Leo McKenzie2026-07-15T00:06:08.000Z

facts, a trip like that would be scary enough without a medical emergency

RNZ2026-07-15T00:05:08.000Z

bacterial meningitis from undercooked meat? sounds like a load of bull to me, probably dodgy hygiene

Stuff2026-07-15T00:57:08.000Z

yeah nah you're having a laugh mate, it's clearly the food

sending so much love to the whānau, must have been so stressful overseas. welcome home Ashen 💙

tbh i've had street meat all over SE Asia and been fine. just luck of the draw i guess

insane that he was in a coma in a foreign country. our healthcare system better cover this

Aria Wilson2026-07-15T02:14:08.000Z
