Unusual Food Or Food Poisoning?

Question

I'm on my 4th week of Weight Watchers and have been eating low fat things.... tonight I had 17 pst left so I thought I'd treat myself to dbl cheeseberger and sm fries from McDs. almost 2 hours after eating I began to feel violently nauseous. I threw up everything all the way to bile and beyond...... I mean like when I had food poisoning 2 yrs ago. Was it my body not being used to it? OR the past 3 nights I've been training @ my new job in a deli..... salm or ecoli from there? (no I didn't wash my hands when I got home....)

HELP!!!!!

I never eat @ the deli just handle ever kind of meat cheese and salad known to mankind

Answer 1

Typically, food poisoning takes 6-8 hours to occur. Another thing: you usually feel better immediately after you "evacuate" the bad food. If you continued to be sick past that, it COULD be an extreme case. Did you eat anything 4-6 hours before the McDonald's? Deli's could definitely be a source. Most bacteria can be destroyed during the cooking process. In a deli, sandwiches are often served cold. Bacteria can easily spread from cold meats to vegetables to breads. If any of your co-workers had open cuts, or dirty hands, they could have started the whole thing. I hope you feel better, and I hope you start washing your hands when you get home from now on!!

Hai! U have forgotten that your brain can never have any control over your system.Your body is a vehicle like a car or bus.Do not treat Ur stomach a dustbin.I'm sure U would have learnt science ever since your childhood.See the nutritive value of food,hygene etc., before U start eating!Ur stomach cannot see the good will of the shop from where U bought the eatable but only the hygene and nutritive value.So it rejects the unwanted food .

Answer 3

it certainly does sound like food poisoning since eating a dbl cheeseburger and sm fries should not make you sick if the meat is good, the bread is fine and the fries are of good quality. In fact, the meat in itself is very healthy and good for you but if not handled correctly or undercooked then it can be all from slightly harm full to very dangerous since there might be bacteria like ecoli and others like it and this might cause serious sickness and disease.

Answer 4

The first symptom of food poisoning is usually diarrhea. You may also feel sick to your stomach (nausea), vomit, and have stomach cramps. The time it takes for symptoms to appear, how severe the symptoms are, and how long the symptoms last depend on the infecting organism and your overall health.

Most of the time, food poisoning is mild and passes in a few days. However, some types of food poisoning may be more severe. Salmonella food poisoning (salmonellosis) may last more than a week and require you to go to the hospital. One type of E. coli infection (E. coli O157:H7) can cause serious complications, such as severe blood and kidney problems, especially in small children and older adults. Toxoplasmosis and listeriosis are dangerous to a pregnant woman and her fetus.

Answer 5

It sounds like food poisoning because if you were just not used to the food anymore, you would just feel kind of sick. You wouldn't be violently vomitting like that (like your body is trying to get rid of the food ASAP). If you still feel like crap and you're still nauseated after you vomit, you should get medical attention. I hope you're feeling better, though. If you are but you're stomach hurts just a little still, then try Pepto Bismol or something like it. That usually helps me after I have a bad, but delicious, burrito =)
