Most food poisoning takes at least 12 hours to show up so it sounds like it was not the resturant you repotrted. You might need to go back a few hours and look at what you ate earlier in the day.

Some regular posters here will no doubt say that protecting us from food borne illnesses should be done by the private sector! LOL!

food poisoning can take effect in only a few minutes, i hadnt eatin all day , then after 5-10 minutes of eating a turkey sub , i was vomiting like never before, after i threw up i felt better right away. Where do u get this 12 hour idea ?

You are so right. I became dizzy and was vomiting one hour after eating bad shrimp a few years ago at an expensive restaurant on vacation.

My husband almost died several years ago from scrombroid seafood poisoning. It is a histomine poisoning in fish that's caught in cold waters, then sit for a long time in hot temperatures at market. It cannot be cooked away. He got it from tuna. If your fish every tastes "peppery" don't eat it. (He thought it was the seasoning.)

Within an hour he "scarlet", shaking and was going into shock; was in the ER on a tilted bed, being pumped full of fluids and antihistamines. We lived 5 minutes from a hospital at the time. Had we not been that close, he could have been gone.

her inspection of ingredients & procedures does not sound like she did cultures, or elaborate investigative bacterialogical or a viralogical analysis , besides the next day is probly way to late any how, the health dept is about as bad as the dog control dept, besides , do u realize what your hospital bill would have been ? ......even for a few hours in the waiting room, then they would probly just give you a few pills (like tylenol) & send u home without much in depth testing on u , did u get a copy of her so called investigation ? i bet u its just a bunch of big words with no real substance , she probly just walked thru the kitchen real fast & had a short ,friendly chat with the manager, i bet they gave her a bunch of free gift cards before she left. Did she eat any of the food ? i doubt it. she probly will at another branch of that chain, i used to work in those places ,ever since then ive been afraid 2 eat any food thats not boling hot (sterile) when they serve it, u need 2 be checked 4 hepatitus , How do u expect to have safe food when 95 % of the employees in those kitchens dont know 1 word of english ?.....they r here illegally , they refuse 2 learn english,........ also, 4 some reason our so called authorities dont deport them back to south america, even when a large percent of americans who r ready , willing & able to work cant find a job ,thats because of illegal immigrants taking their jobs ,..... how can these places even legally hire all of these illegals or why would they even want to ?..... even if they do work for 20 cents less per hour. Most of them dont even like americans , they have babies at about 10 per family,(versus 1 baby per family for americans) yet the babies r legally usa citizens, what sense does that make ? the statistics prove that they cause a large amount of crimes in the usa as well. i say send every single 1 of them on box car trains back to south america just as fast as the trains will run with at least 100 of them per box car. with 100 box cars per train, at the rate of 100 trains per day , . but sterilze them all 1st, cuz most of them will tunnel under the border at the rate of 10,000 per day 2 get back here, . Why does our state, city , county ,fed, ect, use our tax money 2 give them free housing, food stamps. interpreters,free medical care, & dual language literature, even a drivers license , ect ? , when they are not even allowed to be in our country . how did any of this start & why aint it been stopped & reversed like 5 years ago. please tell us what place u ate at so we wont all get sick as well.

I will say that the Health Department where we lived (not NC) was very thorough. The inspector went out within a few days. A piece of the huge tuna was sent off to a neighboring city for lab reports. It came back way above the toxic/hazardous level.

The same restaurant owner who had asked me the week before, "How old is your husband (what did that have to do with anything?) and is he allergic to seafood? (NO) was begging the Health Inspector for our phone number to call and pay our hospital bill.

The entire ER visit and doctor's bill was paid and we left it at that.

nc22,
while some of what you said was true (imo), you somehow turned the discussion into illegal immigration. then you made this comment - " 95 % of the employees in those kitchens dont know 1 word of english"..........
i admit to making typos and occasionally misspelling words, and generally don't correct others errors in that regard, but since you made the above statement, i feel compelled to point out several of your own english language errors :
(pride goes before a fall)...........

bacterialogical - improperly spelled
probly - improperly spelled
boling - improperly spelled
hepatitus - improperly spelled
viralogical - no such word

as i've heard someone else on these blogs say "pot, meet kettle"...........................

and not to mention you come across as harsh and without an awful lot of compassion. i don't like eleven (11) million illegals in our country either and i truly believe they should be subjected to our laws concerning their entry status, but at the same time i understand that they are God's creations and we owe them something more than sterilizing them and deporting them.

we owe them nothing at all ,we need to fine them heavily before we send each 1 back as a deterrent,& to help pay the cost of sending them all back, this country has shortages of roads , gasoline, clean air, clean water , cheap housing, affordable medical care , good jobs & farm land,......the usa & the world especially is over populated as it is , with americans having 1 baby per family & immigrants having 10 babies per family dont u see that in 10 years this place will be like south america, with loud carnival like music that many of them play late into the night in their front yards,& with 5-10 cars parked at a 2 bed room house, & the official language will become spanish, you best brush up on your si senor , amigos , ect , cuz thats where this is headed , thank god for the minute men we now have patroling our southern border, but thats not near enough . I wonder why americans are allowing this to happen.
