    I got food poisoning from a chili dog that I had in the restaurant of
    the store where I was working. I have not had a chili dog since, nor had
    I had much chili since. I only recently had some that was good enough to inspire me to make some. I once came home to find my wife extremely ill
    after having eaten mussels. She was almost as bad as I had been with the
    food poisoning. Up to that point I thought that mussels were okay but
    nothing special. It was more than 40 years before I ate another mussel.

    Not "never", but "a long while". Kasseri cheese. After eating it
    and ralphing it up, it was a long time before I could have saganaki
    (or any sheep's milk cheese, for that matter). Oddly, I had black
    olives the same day, but didn't go off them afterward. Eh, they
    don't taste like much going down or coming back up (compared to,
    say, kalamata olives).

    It wasn't food poisoning, since I had the exact same food as three
    or four other people.

    My granddaughter ate a lot of Chef Boyardee ravioli as a kid. She got, or thought she got, food poisoning from a can when she was around twelve.
    She hasn't eaten any since.
    I'd like to know what percentage of instances of food poisoning are
    blamed on the wrong culprit. I bet it's substantial.
    Personally, I don't think I've ever had food poisoning...yet.

    Sometimes people simply get an upset stomach or the trots. Are they

    I think actual food poisoning is fairly rare unless people are eating
    home canned foods that were really poorly sealed. Or old bulging,
    leaking store-bought metal cans they've kept in the pantry for decades,
    saving against Armageddon. ;)

    Food poisoning means "I got sick from something that was in the
    food I ate". You know all those food recalls? Granola, lettuce,
    spinach, green onions, strawberries, ad infinitum? E. coli,
    salmonella, listeria, norovirus? It's appallingly common.

    My only ever (knock on wood) food poisoning was caused by a shabby
    Greek restaurant. I didn't eat squid for a few years, although my then
    gf, who didn't have squid, also got food poisoning.

    It's even worse. Food poisoning literally means
    a poisoning agent in food. Deliberate with arsenic,
    accidental with stone-fish venom darts, or anerobic
    prokaryotes that survive canning / bottling.

    In common useage, it also refers to food infected with
    a live aerobic pathogen like Salmonella.

    Sherry is a strange beverage. I do not like it. I have had shitty sweet
    sherry and supposedly good, dry sherry. My wife likes dry sherry and I
    have bought supposedly good ones for her. When I have bought her one she
    liked I tried it and invariably did not like it. It's weird. It is a
    liquid but when you drink it there is no wetness to it.

    I think most people have a liquor that they got really drunk on in their
    youth and refrained from for years. For me it was gin. I got really
    drunk multiple martinis when I was about 15. It was about 10 years
    before I tried it again. That time was a hot summer day and it was gin
    and tonic in a tall glass with a slice of lime and lots of ice and I
    loved it. For a few years I liked to have Southern Comfort on the
    rocks. One hot summer day I overindulged. That was in the summer of
    1989 and I have not had SC since.

    lol, i didn't read this far before writing the above...

    Yager is one that can be tricky, but i happen to have
    survived my brushes with it. no plans to try it again any
    time soon though. i've mostly given up drinking since i
    found out i really don't care to waste the money or my
    calories on it. i feel rather poor the next day after
    drinking and don't need it so why bother? at times i did
    in the past like various flavors for making chocolates or
    cakes or whatever, but i can avoid the alcohol and just
    use extracts which may have some alcohol in them, but i
    don't usually drink them.

    i used to get it fairly regularly from chicken. when i quit
    eating factory chicken about 80% of my digestive issues stopped.

    the remaining times i have helped by cooking ground beef a
    lot more than i'd like, but them's the breaks.

    since i've made those two changes i get digestive problems from
    food a few times a year. not usually anything significant other
    than some stomach rumbles, gas and a few trips to the loo and it
    too shall did passed rite out me arse...

    actual geniuine flu has done me much much worse in comparison.
    doing the poo out one end and barfing from the other at the same
    time. glad to say that was only once in my life that i recall
    and was almost 30 years ago. anything i did as a baby doesn't
    count if i don't remember it...

    as far as idiocy goes, there's a few bouts of alcohol
    poisoning - once as a teen which i learned well from but not
    quite well enough to not repeat it slightly about 8 years
    later, but that was the last of that nonsense.

    She doesn't eat foods that are served cold. Cooking tends to kill

    You must follow a very limited diet. Only things you had as a child, I

    Oh, and she doesn't eat salads if I remember correctly. Maybe no
    fruits, like strawberries either.

    Food poisoning means "I got sick from something that was in the
    food I ate". You know all those food recalls? Granola, lettuce,
    spinach, green onions, strawberries, ad infinitum? E. coli,
    salmonella, listeria, norovirus? It's appallingly common.

    I've heard of those recalls but since I don't tend to eat the items

    True, Cindy, I don't care for raw vegetables or cold food. I cook that
    I eat and I definitely eat far more than what I had as a child. Of
    course it is a typical Bruce reply.

    Mom can't eat anything with cherry flavoring, due to cherry flavored

    My granddaughter ate a lot of Chef Boyardee ravioli as a kid. She got, or thought she got, food poisoning from a can when she was around twelve.
    She hasn't eaten any since.
    I'd like to know what percentage of instances of food poisoning are
    blamed on the wrong culprit. I bet it's substantial.

    I hear that most cases are miss-associated with what caused it, but I
    can say with a straight face that I've never managed to get sick from
    home cooking.

    Personally, I don't think I've ever had food poisoning...yet.

    I had it once, and it was awful. Both myself and an ex had it, and it
    was awful for a couple of days. The room was spinning much of the time.
    We narrowed it down to the hot wings we at from a local pizza joint.
    Everyone else in the house had the pizza, but only us had the wings. A
    friend of mine told me they once got sick from their wings. It's no

    Have you ever had "stomach flu"? That is usually a form of food poisoning.
