Food poisoning


So, has anyone out there gotten food poisoning from eating at Taco Bell? The other day I did, and without divulging too many details, let's just say I had to go to the ER to replenish my fluids and get some anti-naseau medicine. I have spent three days on the couch as a headache-y, weak limbed blob, and I am mad! Grrr.
My question is this: Has anyone out there gotten sick from restaurant food (I am talking violently sick for more than a couple hours) and actually DONE something about it? I am considering calling them and/or reporting them to the BBB. Not that I know if they could do anything about anything. But something in me wants to let them know that they are poisoning innocent people with their so-called "food." Any wisdom/experiences you'd like to share??

You should contact the health department.

I got food poisoning from some shrimp in a shrimp quisedilla up at that Keyhole restaurant at Snowbird. And I called the restaurant and told them and they pretty much didn't care and didn't do anything. And I was only really sick for a day, so then I lost interest. Though I NEVER crave Mexican food since that day.

I've gotten food poisoning once -- from shrimp at a Chinese restaurant. I was sick for about a day and a half, and I never called the restaurant or anything. I guess I felt that it's part of a risk we take when we eat or cook... But there is something different about getting sick on fast food. Seriously, that stuff is barely food to begin with -- isn't it formulated to not make you sick but to make you crave it fortnightly? I'd call the health department if I were you. They probably keep track of such incidents and can maybe send an inspector out there and shake things up a bit...

PS I still love shrimp and Chinese food, but I'll probably never eat that particular dish at that particular restaurant again... even just thinking about it still give me a little wave of nausea...

PPS I love the photo you put on your blog. "Do not enter" ha ha ha!
