Why would someone assume this was food poisoning? If you get sick within an hour of eating a food and it's not just your body disagreeing with you, that's generally caused by the enterotoxins released by staphylococcus aureus. Which does not just show up on thin mints. It would have to be chemical poisoning, in which case many people would have it. This was, in all likelihood, a totally unrelated virus. Just because you ate before you got sick does not make it food poisoning.
