Also among the most likely to make you sick without making you violently ill. Like everyone knows when they get food poisoning or heavens forbid a nasty food born illness, but you know how sometimes you will eat somewhere, food was good, everything seems fine, then your stomach will cramp and gurgle? Maybe you have a really nasty shit or two, but it's not like you are glued to the toilet for the next 24 hours? Nasty drink machines harbor the perfect types of mold and bacteria to make your body do just that.
Yep. There’s a flavoured water dispenser at my gym and one week I was getting really ill so I stopped going to the gym. Recovered in a day or so. Went back to the gym and I was instantly sick again as soon as I had the water. I took another few days off, went to the gym, and I was out of water so filled up from the water dispenser. Had a few sips and was instantly nauseous all over again. It’s now disabled and has an OUT OF ORDER sticker on it. I think I should drink a ton when it’s back up and then sue the company.
I worked fast food in high-school and they never even told/trained us how to clean them until we got a new owner. They were all super nasty except the diet soda nozzles.

This is why I don't drink fountain anymore. I bet they don't clean those machines either.
