The numbness and the headache are possibly side-effects from dehydration and electrolyte loss after the intense vomiting fits; it took roughly 8 hours of vomiting before I could even keep liquids down.
All ingredients used for the sandwiches were purchased just yesterday; travel time from the store to home is a matter of minutes and the food was put away as soon as we arrived home. The sandwiches were eaten right after they were made.
I cannot be 100% certain if it was the ham or the mayonnaise that got me sick.
