Vanilla Milkshake, McDonald's, Crow Canyon Road, Danville, CA, USA

5 years ago •reported by user-kmvjf175 • details

I drank a vanilla milkshake there and it tasted a little weird. I then got nausea an hour afterwards and I am still feeling it 2 hours after even though I have taken antacids, ginger, ginger ale, crackers. Those usually cure my nausea if I get it. I am currently worried something might be wrong. | Symptoms: Nausea
