sensation in my throat that caused a panic. I immediately took activated charcoal but it took 15 minutes to kick in. This was alarming, never felt that sensation before. I knew it was serious, but luckily I keep charcoal on hand. I believe this was not caused by a pathogen but rather tainted by a chemical. Like to have it analyzed, as I still have the carton.  | Symptoms: Stomach Pain

On Thursday 04 April 24, I ate at Burger King around 7pm, a classic menu with Burger fries. I had a chicken burger, at meal time nothing to report. The evening went normally with no stomachache. I didn't eat anything after that. It was at 2am that … See More
I started to have an extremely stomachache accompanied by vomiting. The first ones were very painful, I vomited 7 times during the night accompanied by uncontrollable diarrhea.
I could not sleep all night, the diarrhea and vomiting continued into the morning.
I didn't eat all day because I was very sick.
I waited until the night of Friday to Saturday with a lot of concern, I was right because I also vomited 6 times and slept very little.
On Sunday morning it is a little better after more than 2 days of fasting.
Very painful and unpleasant experience, I am not ready to set foot in a Burger King again  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain
