Yeah I nearly choked on some chicken one time, like proper choked, I managed to dislodge it myself though. Anyway, I still wolf down food that's too hot and don't chew it enough.

I also had food poisoning once when I was younger but it didn't stop me from eating a slightly moldy samosa for a fiver one time.

Yep. Totally true. I lived in usa for like 6 years. Got used to the water and food there. Whenever id comeback home it would be a full on feast mode. No care in the world what i am eating as long as i am eating. Every fricking time i got food poisoning. Diarehha was constant. You know how would respond. "Yayyyyy, i can eat more!!!"

yeah another little story is i used to have a 3 dollar movie theater near me or maybe it was 4 anyways real cheap it even had date night discounts but they had these hotdogs for $1 they were great and delicious but every time you ate one you'd get stomach problems like actual stomach aches every time without fail and even the runs at times but it was so cheap and tasty and you were at the movies me and several friends said fuck it most of the time.

I was literally in the hospital twice in the last 2 months with food poisoning. After the first time I said never again, but I kept going to the place I suspected I got it from anyway and 2 weeks ago and it happened again. I haven't stopped eating out since then, just stopped going to that place.

And quite often they are associating their illness with the last thing they ate, which may be the wrong thing. Food poisoning symptoms can take over a week to develop:

And sometimes it's completely obvious.

If I usually eat in and never get food poisoning, then I splurge and get takeout, then six hours later I'm puking my guts out... do you really think it's that sandwich I made myself a week ago that's causing the problem?

Yeah, it was tamales with me. I can't even look at them anymore and the smell is revolting. So no, it wasn't the rice or beer. It was the tamales, no question.

ledow t1_jcqyuqd wrote

Yep.

A few times I've been ill and thought "Ah, it must have been..." and then realised that there was basically no time in which that could have taken effect - and re-eating that same meal had no effect.

I don't get ill often so it really sticks out in my mind and I try to find the cause and it's basically never attributable to food.

Part of that is because I cook everything "properly" (by which I mean, fuck your still-bloody steaks, if it hasn't changed colour all the way through it's going back on the heat) but also that I preserve my food well (freezing, refrigeration, keeping it sealed, etc.) and I avoid dodgy food (e.g. seafoods unless frozen and then well-cooked).

I have even once or twice taken to literally listing everything I'd eaten in the last few days, as far as memory will serve, and eliminating them as often I still have that food around... and I re-eat it and don't get a recurrence.

Sometimes it's nothing to do with your food, and sometimes people think it can't be anything to do with their food and it was from food from weeks ago.

One time in middle school I was having waffles for breakfast and I dropped the plate onto a tile floor where it shattered into a million pieces. I quickly picked up the waffles and transferred them to another plate to eat after I cleaned up all the shards. Later that day in school I had this super intense intestinal pain that hasn't been equaled before or since, and I spent most of the school day curled in a ball on a bed in the office as it hurt less that way.

There was no vomiting or diarrhea at all which has me thinking I ingested small ceramic shards as the plate shattered into pieces ranging from the size of 1/5th a plate to barely thicker than a hair. Regardless it took me years before seeing or even thinking of waffles didn't make me feel sick.

A few weeks into living on my own for the first time, I dropped and smashed a jar of jam. Being excessively thrifty, I tried to recover as much of the jam as I could.

Given it was crunchier than before, and I had a sore throat afterwards, I conclude that this as not a great idea.

I mean, any corporate shithole like that is best avoided.

Products are poor quality with suspect handling prior to getting to the restaurant. Restaurant staff are underpaid, understimulated, and abused, and probably have limited pride in their work because thereā€™s no art to cooking corporate trash. And thus anyone with talent leaves and theyā€™re stuck with the dregs, who tend to care less about food safety protocols etc.

Management are pressed to be as efficient as possible with products, so are more likely to serve things past their prime

I had a strange experience with, of all things, Planter's Dry Roasted Peanuts (a common thing in the U.S.). I had bought a jar to munch on but a few hours after I'd had my first handful I got pretty bad diarrhea. I didn't associate it with the peanuts but a few days later when I had another handful the same thing happened. I still couldn't believe it was due to the peanuts, but I hadn't had anything else that day that was remotely unusual so I kind of laid off them for a couple weeks.

Then one night before bedtime I was really hurting for a snack and I just couldn't believe a jar of dry-roasted peanuts could really cause food poisoning so I had a couple more handfuls. Woke up in the middle of the night the sickest I've ever been - sat on the toilet for ten minutes, when I got up the room was spinning and I just wrapped myself in my bathrobe and curled up on the bathroom tile floor hoping either it would end or I would die. I thought I'd had food poisoning before but those were just a few bouts of diarrhea - I've never experienced something like this. So anyway yeah, I don't touch the dry roasted peanuts anymore.

Oooof my husband and I for sure had something on May long weekend last year. We think our jar of chopped garlic was the culprit. We've never purchased it again. He had made a really nice pasta for dinner and there was a ton of garlic in it. I ended up eating an hour before he did. I was in the washroom, dying from both ends about an hour before he came into the washroom to also die. Put us off pasta for a long time too. Oh and yeah simultaneously shitting and barfing takes a lot out of you, but it's being done all that and ending up dehydrated that really hurts

WeirdCreeper t1_jcspwtm wrote

Adhd, I miscalculated how long it sat in front of me before I put it in the fridge, it spoiled in front of me, I fridged it and bit into it the next day (it was tuna mayo onion salt and pepper mixed topped with cheese and pressed in a toasted sandwich maker between bread slices) thankfully I didn't reheat it else that poor microwave would've been a goner haha.... ah. As to your question the smell was faint, like it smelled less than what premade tuna stored in the fridge over night normally does, but the faint smell was different but not bad, like it didn't smell rotten eggs nowhere near that bad. the look was fine, the texture was the same as any, but the taste... unique as hell it was horrible and instantly the most punguently vile thing to ever cross into my mouth. I've never ate anything as horrible the only thing that even comes close is the smell of rotten moldy oranges... never tasted a rotten moldy orange but the taste of the tuna relates well to the smell of the rotten moldy oranges. Safe to say you're safe if you eat the tuna within an hour or two of uncanning it and if you had adhd don't trust your internal clock not to fail you. Surprisingly the taste was so unreasonably different I still love tuna.

This is literally me to a t. šŸ˜­

I got salmonella poisoning once from a Sweet Tomatoes the night before a Disney trip when I was 6 years old. The next morning I spent the entire day with a fever and just feeling all around terrible. I even remember throwing up a little bit on the bus on the way to school, crying and not wanting to tell anyone because I was afraid that my family wouldn't let me go to Disney world.

Cue me throwing up in the park around sunset. I was so sick I honestly don't even remember how we got from the park back to the cabin at fort wilderness. My grandma laid down with me on the pullout couch and I remember watching "Cats Don't Dance" on the TV. After about 15 minutes I tried to wake her up because I knew I was going to throw up again. She didn't wake up on time and I projectile vomited all over the bed, all over myself and all over the stuffed animals I had bought from the park earlier that day. My sister still makes fun of me for it. But it's not like I didn't try to help the situation. I have CP so I couldn't just get up and run to the bathroom to throw up. I more or less puked in the bed because my grandma refused to wake up and help me. It was a pretty truamatic experience for first grade me. But my dad drove 2 hours to make it to Orlando to come see me and then he and his girlfriend bought me all kinds of toys from the gift shop to cheer me up.

To this day I don't eat at buffets. I'm selective of what I eat and from which restaurants I choose to eat. I even try to avoid chicken if I can help it. Salmonella poisoning is awful and it could even be fatal in a young children or older individuals. I'm lucky I didn't wind up in the hospital. I'm glad the pandemic more or less put an end to buffet style restaurants because they should never exist to begin with. They are a hotbed for food poisoning.

I had food poisoning once, and it almost killed me. I lived alone, and one of my friends had not been able to get ahold of me for a few days, so he became concerned. Came to my house and knew I was home because lights were on and he could hear my phone ringing. He looked through my kitchen window and saw me lying on the floor covered in my own filth. Kicked in my door and found me barely alive. Spent the next two weeks in the hospital recovering. The medical staff said it was the worst case of food poisoning they had ever seen and that I was only a few hours away from being dead.

One thing I will say is that you'll probably never eat the thing you got food poisoning from again. For me it was frozen mini pizza at a hockey game. That happened 27 years ago and I've never eaten a frozen mini pizza since.

The sickest I've ever been in my life and it could only be described as a three day decent into hell followed by a 2 day journey back out. By the time it was done I was so sore from puking I couldn't stand up straight. I would sip warm water so I would have something to throw up because the dry heaves hurt too much.

Nowadays I am very cautious of any burgers from any place, I am actually glad that certain places over cook some burgers just a touch, I feel safer cause you can always slap sauce on the patty.

Oh small update to my story forgot to mention it took me a long time to eat a burger again after that experience. Anytime someone would offer a burger I would shake and feel nauseated.

EXTREMELY succinctly, 30 to 40 people became intoxicated during a lunch at a restaurant in downtown Gubbio, apparently from fish crudities. And there was an explosion of fulminant and general diarrhea. Some people fainted from sickness and crapped their pants, others were shitting in every corner of the restaurant. Two drunkenly soaked people got behind the wheel to run home to take a shit: one rolled over and the other crashed into 3 cars, the intervening police found these with shit up to their shirts and inside the cars. Ambulances intervened. The echo of the events reached as far as the Marches.

Just be careful what you eat to begin with and don't get food poisoning

I only avoid the specific foods that got me sick. Anything else is still fair game.

Over 21 years since I had food poisoning the night before flying home from holiday and I've not gone near chorizo since.

You should try 3 ballerina tea, holy moly. I drink that tea when I'm beginning a diet and the swet, belly ache and sitting is amazing. I read that human body can hold up to 7kg in faces and I didn't believe that until the first time I drank that tea.

If you eat under cooked chicken once you can for the rest of your life! (You might have to a few times in between to keep the memory cells fresh.)

I got bad lettuce at Taco Bell... IDK if it counts because I avoid that one, but still eat Taco Bell in general

I dunno about that. I believe the French have a saying along the lines of ā€œlovers of good food just accept they will get very sick once or twice a year.ā€ I got MEGA sick from some oysters in Japan once 20yrs ago. Likeā€¦ coming from both ends and out of commission for 48hrs. And I donā€™t think I even gave having oysters again a secondā€™s hesitation like a couple weeks later.

Edit: I might be misremembering an Anthony Bourdain quote: ā€œGood food and good eating are about risk. Every once in a while an oyster, for instance, will make you sick to your stomach. Does this mean you should stop eating oysters? No way.ā€

I once knew a dude who got food poisoning from a burger, and thereafter would only eat his steaks well done. I judged the shit out of him for that

Most food poisoning claims are BS. Quite often itā€™s just that your stomach didnā€™t quite agree with what you ate at a certain time. Protein powder sometimes wrecks me too, some others I digest it just fine. Bananas and almonds were awful for my stomach for the longest time, now Iā€™m 150% fine with them. Not everythingā€™s a bloody allergy or food poisoning.

Hate to say it, but well-done is the only way you should order steak.
