I bought some Ny strip steak , cleaned it and cooked it completely! Well done too ! Ate the steak in the evening! By bedtime i started feeling accumulation of a lot of mucus, extremely stuffy The 24th i felt like i had a cold . It's December 27th and I'm experiencing fever and body aches . It is not fair to pay and get sick . A lot of trader joes meat are not properly refrigerated, the meat should be enclosed in a fridge . Love trader joes but they are going downhill. | Symptoms: Stomach Pain, Fever, Cramps, Body Ache

Food poisoning does not cause a cold. You likely actually caught a cold. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. While classic food poisoning often causes gastrointestinal symptoms, some foodborne illnesses can also lead to systemic symptoms such as fever, body aches, and general flu-like feelings. Symptoms can also overlap with viral illnesses, which is why medical evaluation is important. We encourage anyone experiencing ongoing or severe symptoms to seek care from a healthcare provider. Our goal is simply to document reported experiences so potential patterns can be identified. Hope this is helpful. Iwaspoisoned Support.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Foodborne illness can cause a wide range of symptoms, and timing and presentation can vary depending on the pathogen involved. Some symptoms may overlap with respiratory or viral illnesses. Sharing experiences helps identify potential patterns and allows health authorities to investigate when needed. Hope this is helpful.

Right??? These people are quick to blame the food and simply don't wash their hands
