I ended up buying a wrap (they’re made off site) After six days of a blur at home alone my Apple Watch rang. My mom knew I was good and came to get me. As I got to the hospital after six days with no food and very few water bottles (I’m told my house was a toxic mess) I told my mom my hands were shiny and I slipped into a 10 day coma. On my birthday at the end after ten days I woke up to the knowledge I had been in quarantine the entire ten days. The diagnostic testing went on for about six days my mom tells me. I was finally diagnosed with www.cdc.gov/shigella/index.html after an additional five more days I was released. I lost 27 pounds in those 21 days. I did of course go back to shopping at Sprouts. I however never bought another wrap. What was interesting and enlightening though was the very old man bagging my food, I asked him please not heavy I just was in the hospital. He said me too. He was in the hospital 3 days but confirmed he was diagnosed with the same thing. He said he had purchased a sandwich from a market (which is where the pre-made food is sent to) so that narrowed down what I ate, where it came from, and that if you’re found before six days pass you probably won’t sleep for 10 days in a coma. This took place a few years back. CDC, LA County Health Department were all in on the search and diagnosis. I retell this experience because food poisoning can lead to sever malnutrition. Don’t be a typical guy as I was and just assume it will get better eventually. Seek help. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Something else
