My family. 4 adults, and 2 children ate there yesterday for lunch. We had the Tuna Nachos as a starter. Within 10-15 minutes my sister was turning red, and flush. We thought it was the lighting at first until my wife got red all over and broke out in hives. She started filling ill and needing air. She walked outside and passed out. My brother in law got to her before I did and picked her up off the ground. The manager called an Ambulance. My sister began shaking, and my wife was red but felt a little better.My brother in law didn't notice anything at time but when all this was happening I started itching and feeling like tingling with my eyes and arms.
The people were all nice and caring but we left to get Benadryl from the drug store.
Hours later the redness, and tingles left then 3 of them had diarrhea for the next 24 hours. I barely ate the Tuna on the Nachos so I only got the redness, and tingling. My kids did not eat any and they didn't get sick.
When I looked symptoms up online about Tuna and rashes everything we experienced pointed at scrombroid poisoning. It's a form of food poisoning based on improper handling of Tuna and creates an illness.
There was a lot of people there that could have been impacted by this. | Symptoms: Other, Diarrhea, Skin Rash, Shaking, Itching
