got food poisoning from a pizza joint once. we all sat down and were eating. someone asked what the construction was next door. sewage pipe burst. they were still open and serving pizza. i stopped eating but it was already too late. i had liquid coming out both ends for three days. i should have gone to the ER. i couldn’t move from bed and my bf at the time had to help me drink gatorade while writhing in bed. i filled our entire kitchen sink with vomit at one point. i legit have serious food aversions and straight up PTSD from it. cooking for me is a nightmare because i will use so many utensils and wash my hands raw as to not cross contaminate anything.

A few years ago,I ordered something from a fast food joint. Pasta with chicken, broccoli and hollandaise sauce. Well,I guess the salmonella were from the sauce..got really bad stomach cramps, sweating,and what came out of me was turquoise.

Sometimes I think maybe my diet of mostly potatoes is too restrictive, then I read something like this and wish I didn't have eyes.

Throwing up brocoli is like throwing up bugs. I had a bug or food poisoning (the only time I’ve slept in my bathroom) and I just remember millions of individual brocoli pieces looking like fruit flies.

If it helps, you can wear gloves and wash the gloves! Not kitchen gloves, but like surgery gloves. Saves your hands and you don't have to buy so many gloves. Perhaps cleaner too, since there's no nooks and crannies.
