Australia has updated its travel advisory for Fiji to warn about the risks of methanol poisoning. This alert follows an incident where four Australians, one American, and two foreign residents were hospitalized after consuming a cocktail at the Warwick Resort on Saturday night. All seven individuals are currently receiving treatment at Lautoka Hospital.
The advisory emphasizes the need for travelers to be cautious of potential drink spiking and methanol poisoning from alcoholic beverages. Australians are urged to seek immediate medical assistance if they suspect they have fallen victim to drink spiking.
As of this morning, there have been no updates regarding the condition of the hospitalized individuals.
This revised advisory serves as an important reminder for all travelers to remain vigilant about their safety and well-being while enjoying their time abroad. It is hoped that those affected make a swift recovery and that measures are taken to ensure safer drinking practices in hospitality settings.
