My husband and my son both have food poisoning.

[Midlodemocrat]

and, no, they didn't get it from anything I made. They ate at a Chinese restaurant yesterday. I WAS going to have the carpets cleaned. This is very inconsiderate of them.

1. Yuck

Hope they feel better soon (and that they do the laundry).

[Heidi]

2. Oh, no!

That happened to my sister, brother and me once when my mother went away to state teachers' meeting and left our dad in charge of meal preparation. :scared:

Hope they all get better soon, so that you can get your carpets cleaned, Midlodemocrat. :pals:

3. What, dare I ask, are the symptoms?

My tummy and related workings are a bit off today.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. They are both very, very sick to their stomachs

nausea, cramping, the whole shebang.

I think my son has taken 8 showers in the last 10 hours.

[bbernardini]

7. Guess I don't have food poisoning, then. Wonder what it is...

Then again, probably best to just leave this discussion right here. :)

5. I got it once at camp

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in 1978. I was so sick, and so were a lot of other kids. Being kids, we shook it off relatively quickly.

My symptoms were nausea and fainting.

6. This, too, shall pass.

Been there...done that. It's horrible but should be over relatively soon.

Call the restaurant.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. The only bright side is that my FIL doesn't appear to have it.

My husband and son had the wonton soup, he had hot and sour.

How in God's name could hot soup be causing this? :shrug:

They are much better this morning. Classic food poisoning.

[kick-ass-bob]

12. pork or shrimp in it?

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Pork, I think.

My husband is better, my son, not so much. Poor little guy.

[kick-ass-bob]

22. My wife got food poisoning from 3 different Burger Kings

in her lifetime. Once during the time that she was breastfeeding :scared:

She obviously never steps foot in one any more.

9. food poisoning blows

chunks

I hope they get well soon. It can be really awful.

[chimpymustgo]

11. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Well actually...I'd love to see a

serious case hit the White House. Place is already full of **it.

[flamingyouth]

10. Is this the place you posted about the other day?

The place you were happy that delivered?

[Midlodemocrat]

14. No. It's a place that I have never been to before.

And don't plan on visiting.

[mikeytherat]

13. OK, I live in Midlothian and I eat Chinese food

Could you name names, or at least give some topical geography to "localize" said establishment?

15. Peking in Mechanicsville.

Where are you in Midlothian? I am in Woodlake off 360.

[mikeytherat]

20. Along the "Robious corridor" near 288

21. My dad was in the nursing home over there for four years.

The Laurels. Right near Briarwood.

16. I was considering getting takeout Chinese food for dinner tonight.

I may wait, though.

I hope your husband and son are feeling better today.

[henslee]

17. I pity them. Its the worst. I caught it 2x from Chinese

It was bad chicken in my case, I am sure. I had to go to the hospital for dehydration. I am reformed. I will not eat anything off a truck or that may be slightly off.

[PassingFair]

19. Silver Lining!

At least you didn't JUST get your carpet cleaned.

They couldn't have chosen a better time to spew!

[asthmaticeog]

23. Oy, that's horrible, I'm sorry to hear it.

:pals:

Hope everything works out OK for your fam, Midlo.

[El Fuego]

24. I'm really sorry to hear that.

I know how awful it is. :(
