~Foods That Made You Sick~

Damn, I am positive I have never had food poisoning before (my sons have before, from food at Applebee's)...but right now, I don't feel so well :(
I don't eat but maybe once a day.....I don't eat like regular people or eat regular meals.
And just a short bit ago, after running several errands, I stopped by McDonald's and grabbed a McRib....they are only here for a limited time you know!-*ha*-....and, it's been about 20 or 30 minutes it seems, and I literally feel sick to my stomach.
I didn't eat it fast.....and it was the first thing I have eaten all day...but I feel totally nauseated...like a puke fest is about to begin......cripes!
I hate upchucking....if I don't get to the commode in time, my hair ends up falling forward into the commode and getting hurled upon as well.
But...my tummy is feeling crappy.........and thinking about that damn McRib makes me feel even worse :lol:
I'm gonna go lie down.


That's not food poisoning. Food poisoning is much more 'insistent' than that. Maybe you finally listened to all the people telling you to eat shit?
 
I doubt it is food poisoning from McDonalds. They are so careful about these things, maybe if you found it happened to someone else. Highly doubtful.

Perhaps gall bladder problems? It would be more likely.
 
What may shock you is just how many restaurants had critical violations. More than sixty percent of all fast food restaurants in our sample had at least one critical violation in the last year and a half.
How many total violations did each chain have? Here comes Dateline’s dirty dining survey — it’s a top 10 list where no fast food restaurant wants to come in number one:

10: TACO BELL
The 100 Taco Bells we sampled had the fewest total critical violations, 91, making it the best performer in our survey. But it was not without problems. Recurring violations included dirty food preparation counters and rodent droppings.

9. MCDONALD’S
The golden arches, the 100 McDonald’s we looked at came in with a total of 136 critical violations. Some didn’t have a trained and certified food handler on the job, required by law in many states.
Thompson: “It’s that important?”
Smith-Dewaal: “Absolutely. We can’t have food prepared by people who don’t know that you can’t combine raw meat with cooked meat, with people who don’t understand the importance of proper temperatures in food preparation.”

8. KFC
The 100 KFCs we sampled tallied up 157 critical violations, and two thirds of the “finger lickin’ good” restaurants had at least one critical violation. Remember, it was at a KFC, the Health Department says, little Gianni Velotta picked up salmonella poisoning last year. We’ve now learned that another child was also sickened there, and the same restaurant has since been cited for three more critical violations.
While the Velotta’s have settled a lawsuit against the restaurant, a lawyer for the owner of the franchise contends the salmonella cases did not originate there.

7. SUBWAY
The 100 Subways we looked at totaled 160 critical violations. A recurring problem at the sandwich chain was improper food holding temperatures.
Thompson: “What does that mean?”
Smith-Dewaal: “That means that bacteria in the food that’s already cooked can start to grow, and it can reach levels that can cause serious illness for someone who consumes it.”

6. JACK IN THE BOX
The 100 Jack in the Box restaurants had a total of 164 critical violations. A Ventura, Calif., Jack in the Box was a trouble spot. It had several customer complaints of food borne illness.

5. DAIRY QUEEN
The 100 Dairy Queens we examined totaled 184 total critical violations. One Dairy Queen in Hampton, Va., rang up a number of critical violations last summer for grime, debris, and a inaccurate thermometer.
When Dateline went back recently to take a look, the restaurant invited us in, and showed it had fixed the problem.

4. HARDEES
The 100 Hardee’s tallied 206 critical violations. Again and again inspectors cited the presence of insects and rodents.
Smith-Dewaal: “Rodents and roaches are gross. But more importantly, they can also spread germs from food to food, and carry germs into a restaurant.”
Last May, one restaurant was cited for not having soap in the employee’s sink. Yet, inspectors found employees handling ready-to-eat food with their bare hands.

3. WENDY’S
100 Wendy’s had 206 critical violations. That’s the same as Hardees, but more Wendy’s restaurants had violations. So Wendy’s is number three in our Dateline dirty dining survey.
At a Wendy’s in Mesa, Ariz., inspectors noted repeated problems with food holding temperatures, mice droppings on the shelves, bare hand food contact, and one food borne illness complaint.

2. ARBY’S
The 100 Arby’s had 210 critical violations. The roast beef specialists had recurring violations for improper hand-washing and employees handling ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands.
Smith-Dewaal: And clearly, if the person isn’t washing their hands or using other sanitation practices, they can really make people very sick.

1. BURGER KING
So which fast food chain finished number one on Dateline’s dirty dining list? It’s Burger King. The 100 Burger Kings we sampled rang up a whopping 241 total critical violations. Health inspectors cited a Virginia Burger King for 14 separate critical violations: employees not washing their hands, uncovered food in the fridge, grime and debris found on this ice chute, and on the drink machine at the drive-thru widow. We observed one employee scooping ice into a cup with his bare hands, an apparent critical violation.

Damn, I like Burger King. Their chicken sandwiches are the best.
 
About an hour after I eat at McDs or most of those fast food joints, I tend to feel slightly nauseous.

Its probably psychosomatic, but it didn't happen when I was young, so perhaps my body is just rebelling against my eating the crap now that it's older and wiser.
 
Damn, I am positive I have never had food poisoning before (my sons have before, from food at Applebee's)...but right now, I don't feel so well :(
I don't eat but maybe once a day.....I don't eat like regular people or eat regular meals.
And just a short bit ago, after running several errands, I stopped by McDonald's and grabbed a McRib....they are only here for a limited time you know!-*ha*-....and, it's been about 20 or 30 minutes it seems, and I literally feel sick to my stomach.
I didn't eat it fast.....and it was the first thing I have eaten all day...but I feel totally nauseated...like a puke fest is about to begin......cripes!
I hate upchucking....if I don't get to the commode in time, my hair ends up falling forward into the commode and getting hurled upon as well.
But...my tummy is feeling crappy.........and thinking about that damn McRib makes me feel even worse :lol:
I'm gonna go lie down.

And people are all the same.......... Sure thing...... :thup:

Some people cry 'food poisoning' every time they get a widdle upset tummy.

If you had bothered to take an extra couple a minutes and read further, you would have seen where I said I felt better, so I know it wasn't food poisoning, just an upset tummy.
I believe the correct phrase you are trying to coin is......
Eat Shit And Die MotherFucker.

That's my advice to you...have a great day!
 
Taco Bell poisoning hit me once in the middle of a lecture. Well, it was actually at the beginning of the review for a calculus exam so I really wanted to stick it out.

But I knew that wasn't going to happen when I suddenly had to run over to the trashcan to upchuck. Very embarrassing to do that in front of 30 undergrads. But they were nice about it and didn't mind when I declared "test postponed" and dismissed them in between hurls. One stayed behind to make sure I was going to be able to get home okay.


My body must have concluded that it was the taco tomatoes which made me sick because I couldn't stand the sight of tomatoes for many months.

There are many types of germs that can cause food poisoning. And it can hit you very quickly depending on the type of germ. Most of the time it hits between 2 to 6 hours after eating but for staphylococcal food poisoning symptoms can hit within 30 minutes.

Staphylococcal food poisoning is a gastrointestinal illness. It is caused by eating foods contaminated with toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus . The most common way for food to be contaminated with Staphylococcus is through contact with food workers who carry the bacteria or through contaminated milk and cheeses. Staphylococcus is salt tolerant and can grow in salty foods like ham. As the germ multiplies in food, it produces toxins that can cause illness. Staphylococcal toxins are resistant to heat and cannot be destroyed by cooking. Foods at highest risk of contamination with Staphylococcus aureus and subsequent toxin production are those that are made by hand and require no cooking. Some examples of foods that have caused staphylococcal food poisoning are sliced meat, puddings, some pastries and sandwiches.

What are the symptoms of staphylococcal food poisoning?
Staphylococcal toxins are fast acting, sometimes causing illness in as little as 30 minutes. Symptoms usually develop within one to six hours after eating contaminated food. Patients typically experience several of the following: nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. The illness is usually mild and most patients recover after one to three days. In a small minority of patients the illness may be more severe.
