“Last night around 10pm I ate about 7 thin mints (I know that’s a lot, but still). Around 2 am I woke up extremely nauseous-I am about 13 weeks pregnant so I thought it was just that. Then starting at 4am I have been puking every hour and it’s almost 10AM.
I also started having diarrhea around 9AM.... See MoreI will NEVER touch another thin mint for as long as I live! I know for a fact that is what caused this because I was the only one that ate them and the rest of my family is perfectly okay. See Less”

“Tai Pei frozen pork potstickers I got sick the morning after I microwaved the potstickers. I followed the directions, 5 at a time for 5-6 minutes and drained them, then added the sauce that came with it. It didn't taste appetizing to me, so I only ate 2 or 3. That was around 11:40pm on March 31st. T... See Morehis morning at 7 am I woke up with a pretty intense stomach ache. I kept laying there for a while, but my stomach got so upset I got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as I sat up I the up in my mouth and it was the burning acidic kind of vomit. I went to the bathroom to finish puking, then I sat on the toilet and had diarrhea. I left the bathroom a little while ago to report this, but my stomach still feels upset and I'll probably have to do it again. The bag says they're precooked and I followed the directions, so there's no reason I should be getting sick right now.
