my sister got food poisioned by eating a ham( think it was gammon or something) .She was so ill for days, she was perfectly fine before eating the ham and about two hours later she was vomiting violently, it took her about a week to recover fully.
This week more ham products were re-called from Supervalue and Centre due to a presence of Listeria. Click the link here if u wish to read it!

I notice that galwaybuzz is still shilling for a political motive and his/her standard of spelling is still poor.
