I think I'm out of the woods

[Harley Chick]

Last night DH and I had salad with homemade salad dressing. I made it like always, but it tasted a little ummm... off. I thought it was the romaine lettuce (you know how it can taste a little bitter sometimes). Anyway, my DDad had stopped by the house and filled our fridge with his "cast-offs" right before he moved last week and I grabbed his mayo instead of mine. It had expired (ok, this is gross ) 9 months ago. I was awake all night waiting to be sick. Luckily I wasn't, but man, my mind sure was gearing me up for it. I don't think I'll ever eat another salad again. Just the thought of it makes me sick (do we have a pukey smilie??) Anyway, it got me thinking that there must be something you can do if you know you've eaten something bad but haven't gotten sick yet, but I don't know what it is. Do you?

Yeah, hope you don't get sick! LOL

I have no idea, but am glad you're feeling OK!!

I take Brioschi when I know I'm going to be sick, but can't, instead of waiting for hours. This usually settles it or gets it out.
You can buy it in the drugstore in the antacid section.
I always have it in the house, just in case! When it expires I buy a new one.... There's nothing worse than that feeling.

Be glad that you were not sick!

2 weeks ago I got food poisoning from bad bacon. I was up all night and it was AWFUL! I got sick pretty quickly after I had eaten. It took me two days feel some what normal. And almost a week before I could really eat a regular meal again.

YUCK!

Harleychick...I think if you haven't gotten sick yet you're definitely "out of the woods". Usually if you get food poisoning it is within like 4-12 hours, I think. You should be all set.

Do you have a number for Poison Control? They might be able to give you some advice.
