My wife and I are on our Honeymoon in Key West Florida. We came back to our Hotel room around 2 pm after a morning full of tourists activities. We decided we wanted to get some food because we were both very hungry and had only ate … See More
a very light breakfast earlier that morning. Neither of us felt like leaving the room so we decided to use Door dash. I ordered the jambalaya and my wife got chicken strips & fries. The jambalaya was most definitely the worst tasting I've ever had, but it cost $24 and I was very hungry so I picked through and ate most of the meat before I couldn't stand to eat anymore. With in 30 minutes I was scrambling for the bathroom with severe diarrhea, a couple hours later I began vomiting. It hasn't let up yet and that was over 30 hours ago. Nothing I have taken has helped or even slowed it down. This has ruined the later half of my honeymoon and I will not forget it or ever eat at a here again!
Also, my wife said the chicken strips were pretty much terrible.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting
