Oyster Illness? Norovirus Suspected - The Half Shell, Memphis Tennessee

7825 Winchester Road, Memphis, 38125 Tennessee, United States

I had oysters and fried mushrooms.
I woke up with violent diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. It continued for 15 hours. It was so violent that I knew if it continued, I would have to go to hospital as I wasn’t able to keep a sip of water down.
Had I been elder or child or compromised individual health wise, it would have been to the hospital immediately because of the situation I was experiencing.
Time period fits window for norovirus of 12 - 48 hours with median of 33 hours. My onset was 36 hours.
I am still feeling the after affects with stomach cramps and nausea. Just uncomfortable and it is now 3 days later from onset.
Where did oysters come from? Harvested? Or food handler contamination?
I have been in food, beverage and hospitality business for 31 years. There is no doubt it was food born illness. I know it is highly contagious for others once I have it. Most people don’t know this fact about “food poisoning” vs. stomach flu...
I am reporting for establishment to go back and review and for others to be alerted for life saving reasons.
I have eaten oysters since my teenage years at reputable establishments. I will never take this chance again. It was that bad/violent/still uncomfortable. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Other, Cramps
