How long for food poisoning to kick in?

Is that apt? I dunno, but it was biblical anyway...

"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Make what you want out of that.

Gave myself food poisoning once after cooking some bad chicken it was in date but didn't smell great but like an idiot i cooked it anyway. I had one bite and then threw it in the bin.
About 4 hours later i was throwing up, couldn't keep any water down and felt like i was dying. This lasted 2 more days before i had to go to hospital and get a drip due to dehydration. It was hell, never want to experience it again.

Might as well chip in my food poisoning story. Actually it's my girlfriend's food poisoning story. :pac:

In the summer of 2014 I was over here in NL for 6 weeks staying with her. This is when we were still doing things long distance. I had just finished my final year in college and couldn't wait for this really long bit of time together. One day we went to this really cool flight museum about an hour away from us. Spent the whole day there, we both found it really interesting and the weather was fantastic. Really enjoyable day out.

We decided to get Maccy D's drive-thru on the way home, just outside the town we live in. If I remember rightly we both got large Big Mac meals. So we went home and ate it all in front of the TV at about 7pm. Tasty end to a nice day.

At about 9pm she began to feel it in her stomach, nasty cramps. Went to the loo and had a nasty dose. She thought she had got it all out of her and was feeling better then. Drank lots of water and then we both had an early night, heading to bed at about 11pm. But she couldn't sleep, could feel it coming back again. Went to the loo again, throwing up now also and having another dose.

This went on unfortunately until after 4am. A repeated process of her having the scuts, bent over the toilet with a bucket on her lap. I'm basically watching her do all this the whole time because she kept passing out, which she does quite easily unfortunately. Our 'WC' is quite small so I had to keep holding her up, making sure she didn't fall off the toilet and crack her head off the wall. She'd then stop expelling fluids and we'd go back to bed, keeping a bucket beside the bed. Try to get to sleep for 15 mins and then repeat process.

Somewhere after 4:30 we got to sleep and the expulsions stopped. She felt pretty rotten not surprisingly for a few days, but then recovered. The day after all this she was supposed to drive her younger sister to her driver's theory test, but of course that didn't happen.

About a week later we were talking with a guy she knows who worked in said McDonalds. He didn't understand how this could happen. It wasn't a busy evening, so it couldn't be like the food was only part cooked in a hurry. IIRC the food was actually quite warm like it had been freshly cooked. Bit of a mystery then.

I've only eaten once from there since then, fortunately no consequences from that. Don't feel like chancing it again. She's eaten from there more than once again, mainly due to peer pressure we'll say.

I think it's fair to say though, if you end up seeing your loved in a condition like that you can pretty much handle anything with them.

I've experienced the odd dose of food poisoning myself over the years, undercooked or spoiled food. Never anything like this though.

I had a similar experience with an ex. I was the one doing Number 3s all over a hotel bathroom. (yes we had booked a 'romantic' night away when I got poisoned). He was worse than useless and was actually really horrible to me about it. I had had one rum and coke so he kept saying I was drunk and this was a hangover. I could hardly even clock that he was in the room I was so disoriented and dehydrated. For a finish I begged him to ring reception to get a doctor which he eventually did. The doctor came and injected me and gave me dioralyte etc.

My ex then told me I should have told him how bad it was. Eh hello? No. 3s for 6 hours straight while he lay in bed asking me to keep it down.

I dumped him shortly afterwards because it turned out he had no soul

Is ... eh ... is that where the username came from?

Good point. If you are brought down at that point, you are talking about extremophiles. And then you never stood a chance anyway.:pac:
