The times I’ve had food poisoning, actual stuff, I
just wanted to DIE, I had to sit on the commode and throw
up in the sink at the same time, along with flash fever
and then cold chills and sweats, deep down ache, I never
want to go through that again, we aren’t just talking about
having cramps and the runs, it was awefull. Once from
eating an egg buscuit that had been under the heat lamp
for too long. My friend and I both had them,later I looked at him and said, “You look terrible!” He looked at me and
said, “YOU look terrible!” then we both threw up and were
sick for the next 12 hrs. Honestly there came a time during
the night when I just wanted it to end, please just let
me die.

Had it once in Nam like that, horrible.

Geeze...either you're particularly unlucky or I'm just the opposite.I can only remember feeling *half* that bad once or twice in my life.

But Vietnam certainly could be different.As Robin Williams,as Adrian Cronauer,said "is there anything here that *doesn't* give you diarrhea?"

I once was stupid enough to heat up a can of asparagus that, when I opened it, didn’t hiss. IOW, it already had a hole in it. Stupid, monumentally stupid.

Well, it tasted fine going down. Coming back up a few hours later was...less pleasant. I thought that I had an alien in my belly that was trying to come out through my stomach, just like in the movie. I couldn’t eat for 3 days, could only stomach some weak soup and water starting around mid-day of day 2. I wasn’t fat, but I lost 12 pounds in 3 days. I’ve never been so sick in my life.

Bush and those around him could have eaten bad food like this and never noticed a strange taste.
