I saw Anthony Bourdain give a talk one night. He said that if you get freaked out by getting sick from roadside vendors, think about the fact of how many locals eat from this person everyday and don't get sick. If the vendor was making folks sick, no one would eat there. That's why I say, if a place ain't that busy, there is probably a reason. It seems to me that the juice guys sell lots of juice so most folks must be OK with it. That being said, there's something bad everywhere and some of us react differently to the bad stuff than others do. I got brutally ill my second trip to Jamaica after eating a patty at Sandals of all places. Once you are laying in the bed in the fetal position with cramps, etc, it will take you a long time to eat or drink whatever you ate or drank last before getting sick. I understand that!!! Took me about 10 more trips before I tried a patty again, but I'm definitely back on the horse now. Hope I never get sick on overproof rum!!!!
As for the juice, I'll keep drinking it until something bad happens.
