Did they also eat Won Kow in Chinatown? I have been violently sick since about 11 last night. I didn't know that you feel like you are going to die with food poisoning.
December 18, 201015 yr Yeah I've had it before. I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed. I finally did because I had to pee furiously and my pee was almost orange, because I was so dehydrated from s***ting my guts out the night before.
December 18, 201015 yr I had 2 Chinese prostitutes visit my hotel room while set up with a bout of food poisoning in Urumqi.

My friend got really sick from Little Caesars one night, but I ate the same thing and was fine. My brother also got sick at a restaurant when we were kids, we ordered the same thing but I was fine. I have an iron stomach I guess.
December 19, 201015 yr Got from Hardees a few years ago 3 days before Christmas. Have not been back there since.
December 21, 201015 yr The worst food poisoning I ever had was from a sausage-like beef jerky from avending machine around this time of the year two years ago. ...I haven't eaten beef jerky since. :-X
December 21, 201015 yr I got e.coli from a burger in Singapore in Feb of last year. Probably the most sick I've ever been in my life. I'm sure you're going to see a doc about this, as the antibiotics were def. what brought a quick end to it for me. On the bright side, I lost about 5 lbs in a week.
December 21, 201015 yr I got it from Jimmy Johns tuna and chinese food. I even got it once from a lobster in Aspen. You never can tell.
December 22, 201015 yr I hadn't had food from a fast food place in months, and probably Jimmy John's for about a year, I got it yesterday and heard on TV that they are recalling their sprouts, which were on my sandwich, because of salmonella reports. It's been about 24 hours and I feel fine, so hopefully I avoided. Yeah, food poisoning is terrible, comes out of nowhere and just wrecks you.
December 22, 201015 yr I got it from a deep-dish spinach pizza about two years ago. What's funny is that before that time, I never ever ordered spinach pizza before, I just had some weird craving for it. I remember waking up in the morning and throwing up what looked like pure spinach leaves and water. And to make matters worse, at work we were releasing a huge new product that needed my immediate attention, and my backup was out-of-town because of a death in family. I picked up several Pedialytes on my way to work, and drank those as I s*** at least two times every hour. That was definitely one of the worst weeks of my life. I can hardly even look at spinach now.
December 22, 201015 yr Christmas Eve 2003, I eat at Wendy's. Next day, I'm in bed all day sick as dog. Stuff coming out of both ends, as black as midnight. I swear I had Mad Cow.
December 22, 201015 yr People tend to misdiagnose what caused their food poisoning because their memory is only of the last thing they ate, or the thing they think they shouldn't have have ate and choose to blame that specific thing. Fact is that it can take food poisoning up to 48 hours to set in...so it could have been ANYTHING you ate from the point you felt sick to as much as 48 hours back...and usually the thing you think it was...it wasn't. It was something else you still presume is safe that caused it. Unless diagnosed as to the exact type of food poisoning you had/have, it's otherwise impossible to guess how long it could have taken to set in. Some forms set in within 2 hours, while others take much longer, even days. Edited December 22, 201015 yr by Y2HH
