Staph food poisoning is not fun

[WindRavenX]

I feel so betrayed...I grew staph bacterial colonies on petri dishes frosh and sophomore year...and then they betray me by making me violently ill?

o ye god.


ps--avoid the Golden Chopsticks on Ditmars Ave, Astoria NYC.

6. I ended up in the ER and had 2 bags of saline pumped into me

Cost me $600...

If I could've found the receipt - the guy who sold me that chicken salad would have been sued big time...

Got a case of Campylobacter from Ptomaine Lo Mein once too - most painful....

7. Years ago I worked in bacteriology when you could smoke in

the lab. A labtech friend of mine was smoking a butt and laid it on the edge of her workbench whild she examined some petrie dishes. She got salmonella and nearly died. It tooks months for her to regain her health, which she never totally did.
