Forgot my common sense and ate a pizza after a session in a small WA fishing town. (Not going to name names).

Stomach pain and churning 15mins into the journey home and 45mins later back home I was spewing my guts for a few hours.

Just a heads up for other hungry sailors, some of these places wouldn't cut the mustard if the health inspector showed up.

Name and shame!
there is more than one small fishing town in WA

Food poisoning doesn't kick in that fast - what did you eat 6 hours or so earlier.

Nothing. First thing I'd eaten in ~8hrs other than fruit.

Put it this way - as soon as the pizza was purged the purging ceased.

I probably should at least give the business in question a call to let them know.


-EDIT-

Phoned the business and was told that there was no way I could pin point it on them and that there is nothing they can do about it. I wasn't blaming or asking for compensation of any kind, just informing. They basically outright denied it.

Very surprised to be answered with such hostility.

Has anyone got the Health Department phone number?

the barber in vic.park i use to go to, he was around 60 years old went for holiday to thailand.

i saw message left on his shop window, sick due to food poisoning.

a week later another message, passed away due to food poisoning.

it happened to me once, eating takeaway veggies. sick as a dog for a few hours.

keeping your immune system sky high by eating healthy organic food could help to save your life if you are ever unfortunate enough to consume a large portion of poisoned food.

I wonder if it was the food, or the water. I know when I went to Dahab, Egypt, I had read about the bacteria in the water, and sure enough I ended up doing the 'Dahab Dash'...

In this case if your body already has the bacteria, you're good to go, but until then...

I recommend avoiding all vegies and sticking to a meat only diet! Unless they are deep fried, at which point they are deemed to be safe

IMHO - immune system is like the rest of your body, it needs to be exercised (challenged is the term I believe) so eating organic (grown in manure and bacteria stew) vegies might help but dodgy takeways and public toilets is even better.


What you probably need to avoid is disinfectant and washing your hands.

That's why I collect used toilet paper and lick it.

There are a few different diseases lumped together as food poisoning, with different times for onset. If there have been bacteria happily multiplying for a few hours in something that hasn't been cooled properly then their toxins will get you almost immediately. It's one of the pleasures of living in a hot climate....

Coopers beer and hedgehog is a recipie for feeling crook. The bottled yeast went to town on the sugar and I felt **** for nearly a day after. That its not often beer and hedgehog go together haha

waaaat ? i was hungryyyy
