So my stomach got in another fight this weekend. Like really, I don't know what the dealio is lately. I have not thrown up in years, and now twice in a few months I have been sick. But this time eclipsed the meatball sub in horrendousness. If the meatball sub was an unpleasant hangnail, the sushi would be comparable to the entire country of Canada falling on top of the US and crushing it while tiny poisoned needles flew threw the air at any living being, piercing eyeballs and toenails, and all the while Spock has created a black hole in the middle of Earth with red matter destroying the whole thing. I don't know if that sentence made sense, but that's about what it felt like. It didn't make sense either. Bleh.
So here's the story. At work, Ethan was talking about how amazing sushi was. Since they sell it in the soda shop at DBU (weird... I should of realized how sketch that was) he decided to get some if I would try some. "Oh, sure," I said. BAD decision. I wasn't the biggest fan, anyways. So later that night, I started to feel sickly. I had a headache and then started to feel nauseated. I went home... and threw up... NINE times. I was up all night, feeling more miserable than I have ever felt in my entire life. I was so close to going to the emergency room. It wasn't even like the kind of sick where you lay motionless on the couch feeling sick. No. I couldn't stop shaking and crying and heaving, I was lightheaded and my arms were tingling and I could barely breath. Every muscle in my body hurt. Horrible. Don't ever eat sushi.
Ok, well, to be fair, I can't blame the sushi with 100% certainty. No one else who had sushi got sick. (Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I promise I didn't eat any privet berries this time.) It could have been the chicken sandwich at lunch, but that was a looong time before I got sick. And my fam has a history of bad reactions to fish. I don't know. But I have come to this conclusion, regardless: SUSHI IS EVIL.
Fin.
The thing about food poisoning is that it happens almost immediately...like you swallow and maybe five minutes later you're throwing up, from what I understand. If this happens again I would mention it to a doctor, just in case.
ReplyDeleteThe syntax errors on this post alone tell me you're still not feeling 100%!
Hahaha... I totally realized the syntax errors. But I didn't want to fix them. And I did go to the doctor... she said it was likely either the fish or the rice around it. It can take from 2-6 hours for the bacteria to multiply and attack. I guess it depends on the type of bacteria and all that. So that makes the poisonous sushi the most likely candidate.
ReplyDeleteBah-HAHAHA! I love your descriptions...I feel like I really FELT what you felt! That said, I am terribly sorry that you and the sushis don't get along...cause I love, love, love them. We are friends, it's true. But, you know what...I'm just gonna go out a little farther on that limb you danced on earlier and say it's the sketch soda shop's fault. Just sayin ;) Hope you're feeling WAY better!
ReplyDeleteOk, I bet it was the sushi too then. Heather can have our portions (I don't like the stuff either).
ReplyDeleteI need you to come visit. Now.
