Think of the weight you will lose!!!!!

Oysters are really, really good at collecting and concentrating bacteria and their toxins. Shellfish in general harbor Vibrio species, including V. cholerae which causes cholera. Fisheries and oceangoing ships have been implicated in the spread of cholera in some outbreaks. The shellfish harbor the bacteria, the ships draw contaminated coastal water into their ballast tanks, then they travel around the world and pump out the ballast water at a different port.

The worst of the cholera bugs–– just like the worst of the E. coli–– pick up new virulence tricks by taking up plasmids (circular viral chromosomes that act as genetic parasites of the bacteria and sometimes teach them disease-causing tricks that are more in the virus' interest than in the bacteria's).

Are you sure it's not from a dinner pic gone wrong?

I'm still alive. Probably slept two hours last night.... Fuck I am sore for some reason. Pale, fever, and a massive headache.


I believe it's E.Coli because four of us had oysters late Sunday evening. My brother (doctor) along with his wife, are sick as well.

I've scrounged the house for electrolytes but I can't find anything.


Brawndo has what I crave. It's got electrolytes.

So I should just stick with bacon instead of the snot-on-a-halfshell, right?

Your life is going to suck for a couple weeks to a month...enjoy

I know salmonella really sucked when I got it.

I used to love raw oysters, then the hepatitis thing came along. I love my liver more. But there was always gumbo and oyster Po Boys.

So, now they're out!?!

Feel better.

From now on, skip the oysters.

Stick with the mussels.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Rub some dirt in it and walk it off.

This is God's way of telling you to stop picking on me.

TRG

I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything, but that's funny as hell.

EasTexan:

You still alive?

Flush twice if 'Yes'.

From wikipedia:

"Escherichia coli (play /ˌɛʃɨˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ/;[1] commonly abbreviated E. coli) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms). Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for product recalls due to food contamination.[2][3] The harmless strains are part of the normal flora of the gut, and can benefit their hosts by producing vitamin K2,[4] and by preventing the establishment of pathogenic bacteria within the intestine.[5][6]

E. coli and related bacteria constitute about 0.1% of gut flora,[7] and fecal-oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of the bacterium cause disease. Cells are able to survive outside the body for a limited amount of time, which makes them ideal indicator organisms to test environmental samples for fecal contamination.[9] There is, however, a growing body of research that has examined environmentally persistent E. coli which can survive for extended periods of time outside of the host.[10] The bacterium can also be grown easily and inexpensively in a laboratory setting, and has been intensively investigated for over 60 years. E. coli is the most widely studied prokaryotic model organism,[citation needed] and an important species in the fields of biotechnology and microbiology, where it has served as the host organism for the majority of work with recombinant DNA."

Yes. Still alive. FInally getting back to regular eating habits today.

I'm still sluggish and my stomach is still queasy. I have been drinking pedialyte like water...

Fever went away last night, but it was never really high (99.8 at the highest).

Been using the BRAT diet.

Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast

It would kill ECH7. I work with it every day.

I thought of you today, and not in a ghey way.

I finally decided to try some Greek yogurt. It was Dannon's Oikos brand. It hit my gut, much rumbling ensued and eventually shotgunned out the back side not too long thereafter.

This means a McDonalds worker took a dump, got shit on their hands, didn't wash their hands, then prepared your chicken nuggets.

Basically, you ate the feces of a random McDonalds worker. Have a nice day!

I thought that was to be somewhat expected and part of the experience of eating at McDonald's.

Shit! Sorry man
