Gulp Fishing Plastics

[yawormfishing]

Hi everyone,

I am just enquiring if anyone has been feeling slighty ill, like headaches or throwing up from using gulp fishing plastics for a days fishing, a couple of mates have been feeling ill the day after using the plastics for the day,

Cheers

use them nearly everyweek. no signs of illness. maybe the spot they are fishing?

[Joel Eadie]

no sickness for me either

NA MATE

[Bluevien]

Not sick here either mate.

[ellicat]

It may be a personal hygiene issue. Make sure they don't lick their fingers until they have had a good wash.

Also they may be drinking too much beer.

[Mr FeLiX]

No drama here either mate, although gulps that are put back into the pack after use are prone to mould, etc

[hooked_on_trout]

If they used them for one days fishing, how could they determine it was the gulps?

Any number of things could have caused the sickness.

cheers

For something like that I would be looking at the common stuff first like,did they both eat and drink the same substance (possibly dodgy food).

Did they wash their hands before eating and/or come into contact with any chemicals,fumes or contaminated lands or water?

Cheers

They're not eating the gulp product are they ? :laugh:

Beer/sunstroke/seasickness are all common side effects of fishing

[webbfunk]

Have to agree with Ellicats comments on this one. If ther was anything dodgy with Gulps, we would have well and truly heard about it by now.

May have mistaken the gulp packet for the Squirm packet :ohmy: :laugh:

ellicat may be on the money..re hygiene,licking and washing hands.it is surprising the number of people who subconciously do it.

[katfish]

[bootyinblue]

Perhaps there is more too it than just beer and sun.

Was looking through some old threads and found this one

Apparently they are vegitable bassed so it shouldn't be that bad. Having said that I wouldn't eat them
