I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for a late lunch or early dinner when he got home cause I wasn't able to eat lunch today and needed something to eat fast before taking my medicine I take and have taken daily for over 6 months now with no issues and the things I'm experiencing aren't even side effects of this medicine. He wanted to get the Mexican pizza and a few other things as it recently came back and he told me to eat as he will be home later and to put his in the fridge. I did that which means I ate about 1 and a half soft tacos and half of the potatoes and I immediately began sweating right after eating within the hour! I started thinking maybe it was bad food but thought I had heard it takes much longer to develop any issues from food poisoning and it was in my head. I took my dog outside in my backyard and sat down and it still got worse and worse followed by these horrific pains. I have a pretty strong tolerance for pain and yet found myself almost yelling from the instant burn in my stomach. I know its "Mexican food" but I regularly eat way spicier food than that and didn't even use any hot sauce or anything so I knew something was wrong. I am a immune compromised person so I wish I had looked on here and saw how dumb it was to eat at a place that seemingly has so many issues in regards to preparing their food properly and safely. Food poisoning likely via Staph I am finding out through here and otherwise because of the early onset of symptoms can be serious because of my bodys inability to properly fight off things like this means I'm down for at least a few days potentially - possible hospitalization and I will be so upset if eating fast food causes that! Its so upsetting I just wish my body was normal sometimes. I had to force myself to eat a piece of bread just in case after going to the bathroom to make sure something was in my stomach to take my medicine with. I keep checking my temperature and though its cool in my house I feel hot and sweaty still and no fever yet but im sure its coming. update: about 2 hours after eating fever of 100.3**** I am embarrassed sharing this because I know many may find it dumb to complain about how food is prepared at a fast food place but there is a HUGE line between those who expect gourmet service from a cheap establishment and someone not expecting a frigging chain as large as them to not make you physically ill! Its frigging ridiculous. I know they won't miss my business cause I never eat there and unfortunately I had to throw the rest of it away as I'm not risking my bf coming down with whatever the hell this is too. But I wanted to not only keep him safe but since TB and powers that be won't inform the public of these incidences I figured I'd add my voice to the many on here and hopefully keep more in my neighborhood safe. We need to do better and expect better in this country and stop bullying and blaming each other "to know better" than to trust these billion dollar corporate fat cat businesses with our safety? Really? I think its easier to expect them to not regularly poison their customers but yeah we can just keep trying to avoid the abuse instead. I digress. I hope this helps. Be well everyone. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Chills, Sweating, Stomach Pain
