I ate this at sonic, it smelled off but i thought that was just how it’s supposed to smell. A few hours later I ran to the toilet with a heavy headache and nausea, i vomited ALOT like I was puking everything inside of me. The puking
and headache wouldn’t stop all night, I would wake up out of my sleep with a mouthful of vomit so i had get a bag to sleep beside, this all came with severe stomach pain, severe headache, and puking with every breathe i took until eventually all i was puking was stomach acid. Tried to drink water and i puked that right up. I woke up needing to use the bathroom and it’s been complete liquid and it’s a whole day later. I still haven’t ate anything, but I am now able to hold water down.The pain caused my to sleep/lay in bed for over 24hours. Moral of the story I am traumatized to eat food again
