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.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps

Seven of the eight cases with available information reported exposure to fresh organic basil purchased from Trader Joe's before falling ill.
