So many get sick from this place and yet people still eat there. I don't understand.

Are we supposed to report diarrhea to the CDC?


If you go to a doctor, they're required to report.


quote:

Yes, you should report suspected food poisoning to your local or state health department. Doing so helps officials track outbreaks and prevents others from getting sick.

If you seek medical treatment, your doctor is generally required to report confirmed cases to public health authorities.

For residents of Louisiana, you can report suspected foodborne illnesses directly through the Louisiana Department of Health or contact your local parish health unit.

If you suspect the illness came from a restaurant, it is also highly courteous to notify the restaurant's management so they can inspect their ingredients and kitchen hygiene.

If the issue involves meat, poultry, or processed eggs, you can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.

I think a bigger story would be if Taco Bell didn’t cause diarrhea.

Another overblown stereotype. I've never gotten sick from Taco Bell once. Some people swear they get sick every time they eat it.


I'm under the assumption it's a joke and not to be taken seriously. A meme that has lasted for decades. You can now thank this current parasite for extending the meme's life by several more decades.

One of the first things you learn traveling to undeveloped countries, don’t eat anything that grows on the ground.

Dude, you're trying way too hard.

If someone has watery shits for 3 or 4 days in a row, they usually to the doctor.

I say this in every thread about Taco Bell, but if you have stomach issues from eating Taco Bell, you are weak.

I do not have an iron stomach and have eaten a ton of Taco Bell in my life (not as much these days ) and never once had an issue. I don't know of any of my friends having issues either.

It's like a rumor that won't die.


I'm with you. Taco Bell is like one of 2 fast food restaurants I'll go to, and it never messes my stomach up, and I also have far from an iron stomach.

I went 2 years with no fast food then went for some Popeyes one day. Went through me like my guts were coated with baby oil.

It’s likely more to do with what sort of junk your body is accustomed to processing.


Yeah this will happen to me as well, but that has more to do with the fact that I hardly eat any fried food. Most Taco Bell isn't fried, or at least what I get.

It feels like Taco Bell is intentionally trying to close through idiotic prices and crappy service

If it doesn't stop after a few days, yes you should probably do that.

I’d bet that at least 1/3rd of this board drinks so much they haven’t had a solid shite since Covid.

I would expect explosive diarrhea after eating a bag full of Krystal's, not a Burrito Supreme from Taco Bell

Been trying to say. People eating human poop on their lettuce.


They are either shitting out in the fields, or their water source is contaminated with sewage and watering it with shite water. Either way it needs time to incubate. It's not one you transfer to someone handling their food.
