The liver cancer would be from excess drinking of cheap whisky. The also have health problems from laap luet.
If the som tam is too hot for you order it prea waan & ask them to not put in the crab & shrimp.

Many Isarn people have a meal of only sticky rice, a bit of gravy & a few leaves from plants they know.


Cancer of the bile duct, which then spreads to the liver is caused by eating raw fish that is infected with specific liver flukes. Raw fish is present in palaar, used in somtam palaar and some other naam prik's and in some laarp plaa dishes. The infection is endemic in Issaan. Everyone living in Issaan should read it up and take avoiding action:

I suffered - it was not pleasant but hopefully it was treated quickly enough for me not to get cancer in a few years time.
