Years ago a group of friends met at a wings place. I don't do spicy food so me and one other, a child of one of my friends (about 5 at the time), had mild wings and everyone else ate spicy ones.

It began that night both ends sometimes at the same time, and all through the night, the next day and evening. At one point I slept (passed out) on the floor next to the toilet. I was very sick. The child was hospitalized for 3 days and there was a few hours of heavy heavy concern.

To this day, I cannot even go into a wings place.

I was reading on another subreddit about people complaining that food safety norms are too strict and that some people on Reddit are too obsessed with these norms and that there is some margin around these norms etc etc...

But when I read stories like yours, I'm like..... Noooooope. I'm gonna follow all the food safety rules very strictly!

Kept getting nauseous and having the runs after eating wings at a certain place. Took a bit to pin it was them (like 3 tries) because it didn’t happen until the next day. I stopped eating there. Couple weeks later the health inspector rolls thru town and checks everyone.

They failed on a question. They were par boiling the wings (that’s fine) and then leaving them out in a pan near the fryer.

I got mine from a turkey sausage and cheese sandwich from Dunkin Donuts. I've had it since.... just not from Dunkin. It also didn't onset for me until a day or two later, it has to be pretty fucking brutal for it to onset same day.
