Had a bad experience eating out?

Your report helps protect others.

I had the crab linguini there and the next morning I was throwing up, had severe diarrhea, nausea, and later i developed a 100 degree fever. I haven't eaten all day, have zero appetite. I am the only one who ate the crab. I suspect it was bad and no one else has been sick.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Fever
