How long can you go without eating? Maybe for a few days? Following that, your system will gradually fail, making survival difficult. But what if we told you that a person recently survived for a month on ketchup and seasonings?
That’s right, you read that correctly. Ketchup and seasonings are just necessary to improve the taste of food. However, have you ever considered that these two things could be a matter of life and death for someone?
This mind-boggling incident will have you thinking about it for a long time. A 47-year-old sailor was recently rescued from the Caribbean Sea after spending 24 days there with nothing but water surrounding him. Is it true?
According to NBC News, Elvis Francois of Dominica was adrift at sea for over a month before being rescued by a plane that observed the word “help” painted on his boat. Elvis detailed how he spent those difficult days without a sight of land ahead of him or anyone else to talk to or seek help from in a video published by the Colombian Navy, according to the article.
I’m curious what he ate and how he managed to live that way. When nothing else was available, ketchup and seasonings stepped in. “I have no food,” Elvis said. It’s simply a bottle of ketchup from the boat. Garlic powder, as well as Maggi “So I diluted it with water.”
“Twenty-four days, no land,” he remarked, expanding on his experience. There is no one to talk to. I’m at a loss for words. You have no idea where you are. “It was difficult.” “At times, I lose hope,” he says in the video. “I consider myself family.”
Elvis was discovered 120 nautical miles northwest of Puerto Bolivar in La Guajira’s northern department. According to LADbible, Elvis was rescued and taken to Cartagena for medical treatment, where officials will help him get back on track.
Elvis also expressed his gratitude to the Caribbean Naval officials who rescued him and eventually returned him to safety.
“I had given up hope and was thinking about my family when I came across the coast guard,” he says. “I wouldn’t be telling the story if it wasn’t for them,” he added.
