A Reddit user says they and a friend were hospitalized with Entamoeba histolytica after eating lunch at Jiang Nan Hotpot’s Paseo Makati branch on August 29. The poster is urging people to avoid this branch until it shows sanitary compliance. This is a public health warning about a popular restaurant chain in Metro Manila, and amoebiasis can cause severe intestinal illness. Anyone who recently dined at this branch should watch for symptoms such as diarrhea, chills, and muscle pain. The affected diners said they emailed the restaurant and filed a complaint with the Makati health department, but have not received feedback from the restaurant. They advise others not to visit the Paseo Makati branch until it publicly shows its sanitary compliance.
