    Winter vomiting bug rather than food poisoning.

    Winter vomiting bug makes you feel awful for 72 hours whereas food poisoning generally lasts 24 hours.
    With norovirus you wouldn't even have the energy to post on Boards.

    Too much of a delayed reaction for it to be food poisoning.

    Again, no, 8-48 hours. It was around 24 hours after eating the chicken that I was sick.

    Hang on a sec, I said it was Dunnes because I ate a chicken kiev that I remembered tasted strange. I also stated that I probably undercooked it, so I am not BLAMING Dunnes.

    I have had food poisoning twice in my life and am aware of hand washing techniques (I work in a hospital two days a week) :p

    The sickness came on smack bang within the time range of food poisoning, which, for salmonella is:

    People become ill 8 to 48 hours after exposure and the illness can last up to 2 weeks. However, most people have recovered within 2 to 5 days.


    It is not 'around 6 hours' at all.

    Annnnnnnyway, feeling much better - had a fry this morning and all kept down. The other thing has cleared up as well. :p

    Hope the rest of you that were struck down with sickness are now on the mend.

    Oh, and thankfully, no I am not pregnant. :D

    My fry. I must have that (thanks for the reminder). Always have a boxing day fry breakfast but there wasn't a holy hope in hell of that happening!

    Yet you still eat them. Very strange...

    Hah, I ate them once and thought I was just having a bad day. Had them again, same story. Haven't touched a Moy Park Chicken Kiev since. Proper butcher kiev's are the only way to go.

    Wasn't Moy Park :D

    Am over it all and back to normal. Will be much more careful in future about making sure food is thoroughly cooked.

    Lesson learnt!!!!!!!!! :D

    Ah me ole sunflower more than likely it was the dreaded vomiting bug as my friend up the road got it christmas night and he was all over the shop plopping and a plittering but it took him till last night to feel better.

    It's a nasty one for sure but number one priority is always check the use by date and use the Neanderthal senses we all have such as smell next time as it could have been bogey food or the so-called winter bug. I got it 4 years ago and by jasus it still frightens me till this day.

    The only way i can describe it is like being a huge sea tanker ejecting crap out the end and forwarding the bow to splutter out the same. ejection of fluids both ways lol it is one nasty pukeball thats for sure.

    hope you feel ok now as it usually only lasts 2 days heavy hitting but 4 days if it's serious.
