Gyro Food Poisoning

Gyros can very well be the source of food poisoning. Improperly prepared meat and fresh vegetables could lead to contamination with harmful bacteria such as E.coli and Salmonella. In more serious instances, the tomatoes could be infected with Hepatitis A, which led to an outbreak in Idaho in 2012.

Ate gyro from this restaurant in the mall yesterday around 2pm. By 5am I was vomiting, had diarrhea, body aches and chills. Vomiting and diarrhea continued for 5 hours and have since resolved. I am on a medication that slows digestion so the somewhat delayed response is expected.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Chills, Body Ache
