    High-fat fried foods like fries can cause worse diarrhea-related symptoms than usual. Diarrhea, severe stomach pains, and vomiting are among the symptoms of food poisoning with eating contaminated fries.  Fries exposed to the air at room temperature for two hours can develop toxin-spreading bacteria that cause food poisoning.

    Today I ate half a Cobb salad with spicy grilled filet, no tomatoes or peppers, and southwest ranch dressing. The only other thing I’d had today was coffee and one waffle fry.
