What are the chances i have caught gastroenteritis from street food in chennai?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It's possible to get a food borne illness pretty much anywhere in the world. As to the specific question, that would require a representative sampling of the street food of chennai to calculate odds properly.
