Food Poisoning

Guess what...

I got food poisoning!

PS. Definitely consider this post to be TMI: it contains reference to DIARRHEA.

Yesterday I started to feel sick, with all the nice stomach cramps, fever (up to 101.3!), diarrhea, achiness, etc. I couldn't figure out why, no one I'd seen over break was sick. Who could I have gotten this from?! But once I woke up with a temp of a mere 100, and it was gone by midday, I started to think maybe it wasn't a normal sickness.

I had the proper order of symptoms (diarrhea couple hours after eating, fever couple hours after that), length of symptoms (resolved in 24-48 hrs) and the proper cause of the symptoms. I ate potatoes au gratin mere hours before getting sick. Potatoes au gratin that sat in the car for the whole ride up to bellingham. Potatoes au gratin, made with milk and cheese. Yes, seems logical to me, non?

I'm still not 100 percent - nasty headache. Plus I didn't make this realization until I was about 4 bites into the potatoes au gratin again tonight (which surprisingly didn't taste too off, BUT doubt that I'll want them again soon...). That means I got a mild repeat of the symptoms. On the proper timeline I got diarrhea again, so heres to hoping that I dont get a fever again tonight!!

But at least its not a virus so I'm not contagious. Plus, now I can say that I've had food poisoning!!

And don't let my positive attitude fool you, last night was awful. I want legit status as having had food poisoning, no one out there thinking I had a baby version!

Now I should prolly go to bed, seeing as I have an 8 am class tomorrow! :/
