Both of our stomachs rejected the pizookies. Even now, we e both still haven’t recovered from that night | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain See Less

Got a house salad with a salmon fillet and a brownie pizookie on 2/2/2024 and contracted what I believe to be Listeria. About 1½ days of vomiting, severe nausea, diarrhea, and exhaustion. Salmon and salad seemed fine, however my fiancee got a chicken club sandwich (which has... See More lettuce on it) and experience the same severe nausea, but that was it. Due to this I have reason to believe it was the lettuce, since my lettuce based dish gave me the actual sickness, while he, only eating two leaves of it, received minor symptoms in comparison. Our pizookie was completely raw brownie batter, however the symptoms experienced were too minor and brief to consider something like salmonella from the eggs in the batter. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting See Less
