Bob Evans, Benson Drive, Columbia, Maryland, USA

3 weeks ago reported by user-rmnw8589

I stopped at a Bob Evans in the Maryland area off I-95 on my way from upstate NY back to college at Florida State University after holidays (2 day drive). I had a garden salad with grilled chicken on it. Fast forward 3-4 hours…I’m going like 80mph … See More
on I-95 and just start projectile vomiting all over my car, jacket, clothes, dashboard, steering wheel…EVERYWHERE. I knew immediately that someone had left the chicken out at room temperature at some point instead of refrigerating it (allowing bacteria to make toxins) before it was cooked and I had Staph Aureus food poisoning. Cooking doesn’t destroy the toxins. I stopped in Rocky Mount, NC for the night and spent like 4 hours cleaning up everything the best I could despite it being like 12am. I had to find a car vacuum place. I had to put my super expensive leather winter jacket in a bag and put it in my trunk. I was disgusting and felt like hell. Never went back. Please don’t eat there. I could have crashed my car and died and/or killed others on the road. There were cars all around me doing the same speed. How I didn’t crash is beyond me. Worst ever.  | Symptoms: Vomiting

On 16 December 2023, after taking photos with Santa, my family went to PF Chang’s in Columbia, MD for lunch. I was the only one in my family who ate the crispy honey chicken and when we finally returned home, I started experiencing the absolute worst stomach … See More
pain. The pain was so terrible that I was curled up in the fetal position in bed for hours. Five hours after lunch, I threw up everything and had no appetite for dinner. I’m still experiencing stomach pain but not as intense. My husband called the manager to notify the restaurant. I tried calling the local Health Dept but it is closed on weekend. I’m so thankful my young children did not eat the crispy honey chicken dish and get this sick. #pfchangs  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Loss of Appetite
