Spicy Shawarma Sparks Illness - Shawarma King & More, Castroville California

11601 Merritt Street, Castroville, 95012 California, United States

On Friday August 1, 2023 I wanted to have Middle Eastern cuisine. I decided to make the drive to Castroville and I ordered 2 meals along with some fries. I ordered 2 plates which consisted of lamb and beef on top of some wild rice. I also had a small teaspoon of hummus and some lettuce with tomatoes. It also came with a pita bread. The food was extremely spicy and had a weird looking sauce that was drizzled on top of the meat. Well after eating the food I had horrible stomach cramps and heartburn. A few hours later I became sick. I have nausea with a horrific migraine and low grade fever and have terrible diarrhoea. I have been in bed for two days now and feel crummy. There’s absolutely no doubt about it that the food from Schwarma King is the cause of me feeling sick. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Fever, Cramps, Migraine, Heartburn
