Jalapenos Food Poisoning

Jalapenos can be a source of food poisoning. In 2012, jalapenos were recalled after routine testing found them to be contaminated with Salmonella. A Salmonella infection often occurs 12-72 hours after consumption, and is associated with stomach cramps and diarrhea. To limit infections, washing all produce before consumption is advised.

have been olives, jalapenos, spinach, cucumber or tomato. Had it for dinner at around 8pm last night, this morning and all day I've been to the bathroom 10+ times, and every time it's been through the eye of a needle. I thought I was going to sneeze and had to run to the loo just in case. Had to doordash more toilet paper because I wasn't game to walk 200m down the road to the shop and get it myself.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

jalapeño. I ate between 8:30-9:00 p.m. By the next morning, I had abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and body aches. I was in so much pain that I finally went to the hospital. Bloodwork and CT scan was done to rule out appendicitis, obstructions, etc. Completely healthy, besides the food poisoning.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Body Ache

I bought a bag of Fritos corn chip scoops spicy jalapeno through instacart from Mariano's on South Clark Street in Chicago. About an hour or so I felt full and there was discomfort in my stomach. Moments later diarrhea. Very weird! It's like it was a laxative or food poisoning. Not good at all.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea
