Had it when I was visiting Rome last year. Spent a night around the toilet for both ends. Powered through the rest of the trip

Thankfully I’ve never had it. I understand it can be miserable, perhaps deadly. I’m a cook so I’m aware about food safety. I never eat at pot luck dinners and I never eat food given to me from someone who’s kitchen I haven’t seen. If it doesn’t come from my kitchen or from someone I can trust I don’t eat the food.

Yes, I forget the name of the casino, the one in Marksville. I went up there to meet some people and had a room for the night, but we grabbed lunch there.. I had a meat pie with my order, which I ate.. 30-40 mins later I started feeling bad and went to the room. My stomach felt uneasy at first but it was like my whole body felt bad and it kept getting worse. Then I puked, got in bed and went to sleep.. Woke up in the middle of the night throwing up. I know its gross, but I had to call for new sheets and all I wanted to do was go back to bed. I think I feel asleep on the bathroom floor, but after calling 3 or 4 times for new sheets 2.5 hrs later they finally brought them.

I got in bed and went to sleep and woke up around 1030-11AM still feeling bad, but the smell hit me. It smelled like someone blew cigarette smoke in the sheets. I grabbed my shite and went check out.. Thinking about it, I had the room for 2 nights because they credited me for day 2. The lady checking me out asked me "I hope you enjoyed your stay!".. I didn't even have the energy to engage.

A few days later I was still feeling bad, but better than the first 2 days so I went to the doctor. Long story short, he said that I might have got hit with a jab and an uppercut. I had my gallbladder taken out 6 or 7 months earlier and that I guess my body was still adjusting or being impacted.. So the food poisoning was not the most ideal thing to happen at that time. It absolutely sucks.

I've had it twice in the last several years. I have a career where I'm on the road and staying in hotels constantly, despite that I try to stay away from fast food and only eat at local non-chain places that make fresh food.

This has led to a couple terrible experiences. The worst one by far was after eating a fried fish sandwich from a small dairy bar in the south of Mississippi. It was one of those things you eat and immediately feel like shite afterwards, like your body is telling you "something isn't right" even though you just ate it 10 minutes ago. I couldn't even get through half the sandwich (the fries were great though) before that feeling set in and I didn't finish it.

I lost 8 pounds in the next 36 hours. I'm not a huge guy as it is, about 6' and 180lbs. It took me a week to get back to feeling "normal". I had to completely miss out on brining in the criminal fugitive myself and my coworkers had spent months trying to nail down.

I gave up even trying to sip water after about hour 12, as I'd throw it up less than 5 minutes later every time. I've had some painful incidents, including being shot in the shoulder. I think I'd rather be shot again than experience dry heaving bile for the 50th time in 24 hours.

Not to mention all this happened in a shitty hotel room in BFE South Mississippi, as I was in no shape and scared to try to make the trek home.

After I was feeling better, it took me about 2 weeks to be able to eat a normal amount of food. For about a month I looked nice and trim like my high school self though

The rice isn’t bad before you cook it, but it does have inactive bacillus cereus. It can go bad (bacteria activate and start multiplying) quickly if you leave out at room temperature (even minute rice) after you cook it. Ideally, you spread it out on a pan or stir it constantly in the storage container to drop the temperature rapidly then get it into the refrigerator. If it has sat out for more than an hour at room temp, toss it.

My buddy told me the story last year about when him and his wife both got it in a one bathroom hotel room

I almost threw up, listening to it. It went about how you imagined it.

I lost 10 lbs in a weekend from fluids exiting both ends for 3 days straight. And that’s 3 days straight with no intake, idk where my body found fluid to expel, but it did.

I went to the hospital and got 2 large bags of fluids/steroids/antibiotics that took 2 hours to administer. Some of yall that say it got you for one night and you kept going are full of it or didn’t have true food poisoning

This exact thing happened to me last summer. After 3 days, I had to make the decision whether to cancel our long weekend in Houston or not (we were flying). I took a big risk and took Imodium to make it through the flight, and magically, it worked. I was afraid to do so because I didn’t want to trap infection in, but after that I was totally fine the entire trip.

But those 3 days. Holy hell.

I did in fact look good in my swimsuit by the pool that weekend.

I couldn’t possibly guess what gave it to me, but everything else I had eaten that week my husband had also had and was fine.. except when we went to Walkons. I ventured out of my norm since he likes to give me hell for being a creature of habit. Ribeye sliders. They tasted.. sour or something.

I actually like Walkons but I’ll never get that dish again.

Worst two experiences of my life. Wouldn’t wish on an enemy. It will make you question some things in your life.
