it down to the refried beans. They had a salty-bitter taste, but not strong. They also seemed to have a rancid oil aftertaste when I would burp. By that point it was too late. Two and a half hours later, I was feeling nauseous. I went home from work, and went to bed and stayed there until morning. I have nausea, vomiting and diarreah, entire body pain, and my head is pounding.
