Buffet Illness: Vegetables, Chicken - Imperial Grill, Anderson South Carolina

3517 Clemson Boulevard, Anderson, 29621 South Carolina, United States

I ate the buffet on memorial day may 25 th at 5:30pm. I only ate there because it has a A rating. It deserves an F. I dont normally complain or write reviews but i dont want more people like children or the elderly to get sick. I was very picky about what i put on my plate. Ate mostly vegetables and a few pieces of chicken. Vegetable lo mein. And some desert cake. Most of the vegetables were cold and stale. I made sure to wash my hands with sanitizer before eating. That night my intestines felt quesy and then today may 27th i had a migraine, and explosive diarrhea. I have a 102 degree fever and by body is extremely achy. My body always takes 1 to 2 days to get sick from food poisoning. I would like to see the health officials do an undercover reinspection of the restaurant so they can see how the food is really being taken care of. Google has many 1 star reviews of people saying they got extremely sick and will never eat there again. I feel the same way. Please read the 1 star reviews. Since Wednesday morning ive had severe watery diarrhea, migraine that would not go away. I passed out in the bathroom in my husbands arms, had body chills, body pain, and went to the urget care with a 103.1 fever and they gave me meds to bring it down to 101 and did multiple tests, blood, nose swabs and stool swabs before they discharged me. I got worse that night and almost passed out again. Severe migraine, and a 102 fever that then made me pour dripping sweat. I became afraid of sepsis at that point and was worried my toddler could catch whatever i had. So i made the decision to go to the er hospital today May 29 th. My stool sample hadnt come back yet from the previous day at urgent care till this evening. But the hospital tested my blood and saw i was dehydrated and lost electrolytes and my white blood cell count showed i was fighting something. They discharged me since my fever broke. Im continuing to have diarrhea and now throwing up and i have severe intestinal pain. It is now the night of may 29th and i received the results of my stool sample and im positive for salmonella. I will be making a report with the state when i feel better to think. They really need to send in a secret health inspector to this restaurant. Now im doing my best to prevent spreading my salmonella to my family. It is now Saturday may 30 th and my body is still fighting the salmonella. Im a healthy 37 year old woman that was shocked that i got sick soo fast. I have a lot of medical bills now from this incident. I did make a report to scdhec today. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Fever, Cramps, Chills, Headache, Migraine, Dehydration, Sweating, Vomiting
