Suspected source: Mold on Tomato
Onset: 12 to 24 hours
Duration: Several days
Sick: Me
Additional information: It was a Roma tomato I got from a food pantry. It was very ripe and squishy. I almost didn't eat it. When I bit it it burst, so I sucked out the juice and didn't eat the skin. I thought I might have seen a piece of white mold on the opposite side of the skin from where I was sucking. Perhaps the size of a grain of rice. I didn't think much of it or take a closer look. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Chills, Headache
