Have you ever gotten food poisoning from a home cooked meal?

I was just thinking about how every time my questioned my mom's cooking or questionable prep habits she'd yell at us "Have I ever made you sick?!" And she hasn't so we usually just shut up.
But I'm curious: has anyone gotten sick from something their parents made or have you made your own family sick? |

| I haven't - have gotten sick from restaurant food a number of times - but a group of friends went to a lake house for the weekend a few months ago and everyone got sick except the one vegetarian who hadn't eaten the chicken they ate. |

| No, and not when I was growing up either. |

| No, which makes me think all the posters who routinely throw out food that's been given to them or left out for an hour are crazy. |

Never from home or restaurant food.
I've had the runs, of course, but who hasn't? My mom got sick from a catered wedding. The health department was involved and everything. She was down for a few days. She also felt really bad for the bride and groom, who of course were mortified. |

I have. It was pork something, don't remember exactly what. My theory - which sounds crazy but I can't think of anything more plausible - is that accidentally served the pork with a serving utensil that I had also used on it while it was still raw (prepping it before it went in the pan). Either that or I made a salad with contaminated lettuce (I do wash a my produce before eating, but maybe I missed a leaf??).
I don't know exactly how I did it, but DH and I both woke up within an hour of each other, middle of the night, and spent the next day vomiting. After a day, it cleared up completely, as suddenly as it had started. That was the only meal we'd shared. DS, who was only a couple of months old and not eating solids, didn't get sick at all. So I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning from that meal. |

| Oh, and taking care of the infant the next day while both DH and I were throwing up every 15 minutes - that was FUN! |

| Yes. Years ago my boss invited us to dinner at his house on Saturday night. Everyone turned up looking pale on Monday. |

| Yes from home cooking when I was about 10. Never from a restaurant. |

| Yes. My mom is horrible about food safety and I ended up in the emergency room bc it was so violent that there was blood. My stomach hasn't been the same since! |

| Yes - from salmon that I cooked until it was well done but it tasted funny yet I stupidly continued to eat it. |
