I wouldnt wish those 2 or 3 days on any Conservative.
Lol!!!

think i got it a couple of times as a kid, haven't had a stomach problem in yrs.

Avoid the mayo and sour cream.

Fast food places, got me twice (same place about 6 months apart).
Put my kid in hospital (a different place got her).

And the Tuna Salad. I see folks ordering tuna salad sandwich’s all the time at Subway.

In the immortal words of ole Red Foreman... “Dumbasses”

E Coli spreads because The dirty frigging Mexicans and Guatemalans don’t wash their hands after they chit and piss all over the fields while they’re picking veggies

I was poor and ate a sub sandwich 6 hours after a tailgate in 60 degree weather. I ended up in the ER at 2 in the morning. I had liquid coming out of both ends. I literally asked to die that night. I got 5 liters of saline in the ER and still didn't pee for 24 hrs.

Almost impossible to pin point what might of caused food poisoning. Could be caused by something you ate 3 days prior. Different type food groups can harbor different bacteria and all pretty much have different incubation periods. Only way to pin it down it to interview a lot of people who ate the same items and chart their symptoms.
Food borne infections are not related to how much of a bad item you might of consumed.
Food borne intoxication is directly related to how much of the bad item you did consume.

Yea, investigating source of food borne illness was my job for 20+ years.

Years as an over the road trucker have given me a bit of experience
With this.

The McDonald's on the eastbound side of the Ohio Turnpike
at the Pa line. No idea what the deal was, but I stopped there
numerous times on th e way home for the weekend. [bleep] my heart out
115 miles later right before the Somerset tunnel. Every time! Never got real sick...WTF!
Smartened up, went home hungry.


Have been seriously sick numerous times. In a truck, under load.
Needing to go, when you can't stop going(or puking) ain't no fun.

Quit that [bleep] (long haul) years ago, have only had it once since.

The worst time, wife and I were teaming, i would have went to the ER had
I been home. I didn't want to be hospitalized in Atlanta, and we were going to be home the next day. Figured it couldn't kill me in a day.
That one took several days to recover.

A friend and his wife were some of the first to get Sheetz' s bad lettuce.
60 odd years old, she had a transplanted liver. They both did ok, her a bit worse. She was still sick 2 days later, so he got a Sheetz sub for supper.
Round 2. That darn near fixed him.

Last year i consumed a giant breakfast burrito "freshly" prepared at the coolest market in Jackson, Wy. It was undeniably the best I have ever tasted. 6 hours later I was azz blastin to a poi 8' from the muzzle in the snowy woods of the Teton wilderness. No 3rd world food ever produced a more violent reaction. Never trust yuppie grub.

With respect to food poisoning, schiett happens.

It that you Yogi ? 😜

Never had food poisoning. But my wife is a well trained restaurant cook and scrubs her hands about every five minutes in the kitchen. And my folks were very careful. Home canned veggies were boiled for a substantial time to neutralize any possible botulism toxin. And nobody left picnic foods to warm in the sun.


E coli does not worry me much. It was a daily item of my diet in my days milking cows. But Salmonella is scary. We are very careful with raw eggs and mayonnaise. And
Momma will not even touch a piece of raw chicken unless she is wearing gloves, and washes the counter with bleach water after.

Never got it from food I prepared.

Last time was airport food on a layover. Never again will I willingly eat at an airport or have airline food.

Takes about a month to die of starvation. Most flights are shorter than that.

I had it once a half hour or so I had an apptly named Grizzly Burger. Owner of the 2 place "chain" was Tony Knowles.

He was as crappy as Governor of Alaska and mayor of Anchorage as he was a resturaunteer. Fugged the state up as badly as he did my guts.

Closed his burger places about a month later - apparently I wasn't the only one, but it was kept hushed up. IIRC this was between Mayor and Gov.

Not being a germaphobe, actually thinking a person's immune system needs some exposure to everyday bugs to stay working, my sanitation measures are basically those of my childhood. Did get food poisoning exactly once. Must have been the burger at Mickey D's in Rawlins. Had an audit and got checked into a motel in Salt Lake City before it hit. Memorable experience, remember thinking ambulance time but didn't have the energy to roll over and pick up the phone. Started Friday evening. By Monday was good enough to show up at the audit site. That must have been forty years ago - like I said, it was memorable.

Funny thing, when on the road most of us picked a national chain because they were standardized and reliable.

I’ve had it damn near every time I go to satans ass hole....aka Mexico. I had beaver fever from camping and swimming in the mouth of a crystal clear creek. I was towing the boat back from one corner of the state to the other and was puking for the entire 8 hour trip while driving.

I eat raw hamburger meat often, always have. Have a craving for it sometimes.
I'll stop at the Publix, get me about a lb of some of that in-store grind chuck.
A bottle of garlic season and a fresh deli rolls.

Sit in the parking lot and eat it.

My transplant team would take turns kickin my ass up between my ears if they knew it.


I can't remember that last time I was ever actually down from 'food poisoning'

I refuse to eat at Subway, that place just gives me a bad vibe. To me it has all the elements of FP. Slimy meat, brown lettuce, room temp mayo, no givin a shît teenage workers and usually some filthy ass asian indians running the joint. God only know what they'll refuse to throw out. Durka durka, no no no dis still good.
