I was in town for business training and decided to get a quick dinner, spicy chicken deluxe and an eight piece grilled nugget meal. I finish my meal around 8:30 PM and woke up 3:00 AM extremely nauseous. I never threw up however. It is now almost... See More 72 hours and I am still having extreme diarrhea. #chickfila #sick #illness #Chattanooga #tennessee #nausea #diarrhea | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea See Less
