KFC, Lyons Avenue, Irvington, NJ, USA
2 weeks ago •reported by user-hvmy4614
Went to KFC on Lyons Ave in Irvington between 6-7pm on 4/6/24. Should have known from the poor attitude of the girl working the drive thru that I should move on. I ordered three piece chicken strips for my four-year-old granddaughter. She didn’t want them so I
ate two of them. One bite into the third, I was like this tastes funny and the texture feels weird. I started feeling nauseous around 1am. At 4:30am, I was awakened with stomach cramps and ran to the bathroom. I first vomited and then the diarrhea came. Went back to bed, only to be awakened two hours later. More vomiting and diarrhea, but worse. I took Imodium. Had one more bout and the diarrhea subsided but the nausea lasted all day.

I went to jack in the box at 9pm after coming out of church. I ordered 2 tacos, 2 chicken sandwiches and 1 small chocolate cake. After coming home my right cheek was swollen in small area. Next morning I woke up with a huge sore throat.
Didn’t think much I thought it was a regular sore throat. Also jack in the box was the last thing I ate and only thing after a 6 hr separation from my first meal at home. Day 3 is when I had to go the hospital because it was no ordinary sore throat they told me I have strep throat due to bacteria from eating something unsanitary. I’m making this report because I want you guys to know how severely this is !
