I had food poisoning like that on Christmas Day once (and for four days thereafter). Nothing like puking and shitting at the same time to humble the absolute fuck out of you.

my sister & I shared a very small one bath studio apartment in Chinatown nyc several years ago & came down with norovirus within less than 10 hours of each other.

for us it was not only humbling but a test of mental fortitude (& assclenching) that still sometimes haunts me to this day.

It did me. It still haunts me and I am terrified of ever getting it again.
