[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Crab ravioli.  This was the worst.  I could barely function for 24 hours after the onset (4-5 hours after eating).  Spend most of the time in the bathroom, sometimes puking and pooping simultaneously. 2) Crabs.  Puked at the restaurant.  No one else got sick, so I assume I just got a really bad one.  3) Indian food.  Haven’t touched it since.  Had to crawl back and wake my husband up and let him know that he couldn’t go to work the next day (SAHM with an infant). 4) Crab legs on a Sunday.  Never buy seafood on a Sunday![/quote]

You have a theme going on here. 3 of your 4 examples are crab. Have you considered that it might be an allergy instead of food poisoning?[/quote]
Crab cakes made me sick once too. I’m definitely not allergic. [/quote]

You don’t see the difference of one time vs three? I guess everyone has different levels of food tolerances, but for me personally getting sick from the same food multiple times would indicate a pattern. At minimum I wouldn’t be eating the offending food any more. [/quote]

+1. I had the same experience when I cooked with broad bean paste. I don't think it was food poisoning, but I got awful cramps the next day and really bad diarrhea. Just terrible. It took cooking with it three times over several weeks to make the connection since it wasn't immediate, but I tossed the broad bean paste, haven't used it since, and (knock on wood!) haven't had the issue since.

It is interesting that different people have different reactions. Years ago DH and I went out for sushi with another couple who were visiting us. We all ate the same things. The husband got violently ill and was barfing all night. The other three of us were fine.[/quote]
