Fortunately, your illness is very, very unlikely to have been caused by the Subway sandwiches. Based on your symptoms and rapid onset of illness after eating, it is more probable that you were suffering from influenza or COVID. No food poisoning causes respiratory symptoms, and very, very rarely have such a short incubation period. The onset of illness after eating was just poor timing, but coincidental nonetheless. Hope you are feeling better today.
That sounds really unpleasant, and bloody diarrhea is a hallmark of infection with Shigella bacteria, known as Shigellosis. It's unlikely you contracted this from the bagels, since the incubation period for shigella is 12-96 hours. Did you and your cousin recently eat somewhere together? This bacterium can be found in poultry, raw milk, and leafy greens such as lettuces and cabbages found in salads.
