4/4/24 drank some orange juice, got nausea, gas, cramps & diarrhea for 4hrs off and on. thought it was the soda threw it out,started to level out & feel better, started drinking the orange juice with in 15mins i was puking inside Redners bathroom, went home, puking
gradually got so severe, violent & nonstop, i could not stop even with medicine had to go to ER, released with severe nausea that continued for 6 days after. arbys drive thru chic also got sick f/oj at same location as well as another woman posted on fb she got sick f/oj at the Phoenixville McDonalds. I called the day I got sick and was blown off because no one else called it wasn't until the 4/15/24 when i found the other two women who also got sick f/ mcdonalds orange juice that i called mcdonalds again and spoke to jeff.. is it two late to be tested for anything that would have indicated food poisoning , hospital only tested for gastro issues via blood samples that were fine. .. again the sequence of events and how fast it happened when i drank the oj along with the two other folks indicate food poisoning. mcdonalds insurance does not want to pay for my bills(no insurance) and missing work because they say the other two women are hearsay and i cant prove it was food poisoning.. the hospital did not have a determination when i asked she shrugged her shoulders.. but again the events and timing point to food poisoning from mcdonalds orange juice and the other location is only about 9miles from the one i went to ,, so it is very feasible that they got the same oj deliveries.. also no one near me previously, during , nor after got sick..
