I ordered a Bacon King (#4) after work yesterday (4/16), got home and slept early, but woke up by 10pm with diarrhea and vomiting. This lasted for some 3 hours till I got to sleep again by 1am. I got up next at 4am experiencing the same
issues in the bathroom, feeling lightheadedness and chills. I was also sweating after vomitting. Had to call out from work. Not sure if it was the bacon or the beef, or both. After the initial vomit, most of the contents of the vomit was bile, and I concluded that I had food poisoning.

Suspected source: Ryze mushroom matcha
Onset: Less than 4 hours
Duration: 12 to 24 hours
Sick: Me
Additional information: I had been drinking Ryze Mushroom Matcha for about a month and a half before the onset of daily episodes of
chills, fever and tremors, starting sometime between 10:30a and 1:30p. At first I was not sure of the relationship and sought treatment from my PCP who could not find any cause after examining me and in his office. During my second episode he sent me to the ER because my fever would not respond to ibuprofen. A battery of tests were done (urinalysis, CT scans of head, pelvis, and abdomen, chest x-rays, EKG, full blood work analysis) and no apparent cause was found, so I was put on a broad spectrum antibiotic as a precaution. I voluntarily stopped drinking the Ryze Mushroom Matcha for a few days, although my PCP and the ER doctor did not think it could be the cause, and I did not have the fever and tremors on the days I did not drink it. Once I felt totally recovered and was done with the antibiotics, I drank my usual cup of Ryze Mushroom Matcha, but only about half the cup. Within 4 hours after drinking it, I had another episode of severe chills, tremors, and a fever which finally subsided about 4 hours after taking 800mg of Motrin. It's taken a few days for my body to recover, but I have stopped drinking the Ryze Mushroom Matcha and I have not had any recurring episodes. The closest drop-down was Rhyze Mushrooms, but that’s not correct. I ordered the Ryze Mushroom Matcha from ryzesuperfoods .com.
