Hi All,

I just wanted to write that I am severely sick with possible food poisoning. I ended up eating at a Taco Bell not too far and ended up having a bad fever, chills, vommiting. I have not been able to keep any water down as it seems it comes back up. I went to the hospital this morning and they gave me fluids. It's horrible and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts for healing. This is by far the worst sickness I ever had in my life besides maybe COVID. I am scared.

Oh that is the worse! did you inform the hospital of the taco bell location you believe you got food poisoning from? If so, they will report it to the county/city so the restaurant in question gets put on notice.

Thank you, King Kat! This is the worst I've ever been sick I think in my life. I told the hospital which Taco Bell it was. The Taco Bell I got sick in was in Maryland. I am hoping even though I went to a PA hospital that they still report them somehow.

Thank you so much, Partiicpant! I will keep everyone updated. I ended up sleeping a good part of the day but haven't eaten much of anything. Drinking water was hard but I've been forcing myself to even if it upsets my stomach.

I'm very sorry to hear about your issues - if you can't drink water, have you tried OPS (oral rehydration solution)? It contains electrolytes, sugar, potassium and sodium your body needs to avoid dehydration.

If you're too suck to go to the pharmacy, you can make your own solution:

Hope you feel better soon!

It'll last a solid week and you might end up with terrible muscle ache if it was anything like mine.

Loads of people have had it so it's nothing to worry about.
