Greek Salad Illness Duo - Nick's Drive-In, Chicago Illinois

7216 North Harlem Avenue, Chicago, 60631 Illinois, United States

I've been eating here for years .. I've never had a salad there before .. a colleague and I split a Greek Salad last Friday, 6/15/2018 .. 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning I woke nauseated, having to go to the bathroom .. by the time I got there I was violently ill, throwing up and with diarrhea -- for the next several hours. Wound up hospitalized with "severe food poisoning" -- found out this morning the colleague who had the other half of the salad, was also violently ill, Friday night -- the Greek Salad from Nick's is the only thing we had in common. Hospital said it was the salad, probably dirty lettuce, or a crew member with dirty hands or an open cut or wound. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting
