At about 4 yesterday afternoon, I made it back here from a 5 day trip back to TX. I had the evening off and decided to be a couch potatoe and order a pizza and have a few frosties while watching the Mon. night game. I called Blackjack Pizza cuz they're just down the road and ordered a pizza and 10 hot wings. Chowed down and was just watching the game when I got that "feeling". Stomach started rolling and all those goodies. For the sake of saving all of you the graphic details, I end up in the ER at 4AM with the worst case of food poisoning I've EVER had. I had lost 13lbs of water weight by the time I decided enough was enough. I really wanted to die. Had 3 liters of saline put back in me and a meriad of nausea meds and dirrhea meds pumped in me. I was cut at around 9 or so, and have litterally felt like someone has beat me with a lead pipe all over. All because of some little chicken wings. I haven't felt this bad since.... pretty much ever. Just a heads up guys!!

 

Word to the wise, DO NOT EAT THE HOT WINGS FROM BLACKJACK PIZZA!!!!!

2 years ago my wife and I ate some chicken at the restaurant at Bison Ranch in Heber.

Scottyboy,

 

I feel your pain man, and that really stinks. Awhile back my wife brought some roast beef home from the deli and I was the only one who ate it, and it didn't taste or look right. 2 hours later I was in bad shape and thought I was going to have to go to ER, but I agonized instead and was ill for 3 days. You just never know with fast food. Hope your recovered!

Theres one right around the corner from me and have thought about trying it...... I'm sorry to say that I'm glad you tried it first. Thanks for thew worning.

I ordered black jack pizza last year after seein how cheap they were and they quoted me at 30 minutes.

 

well 2 and a half hours and 6 phone calls later i still had no pizza and nobody seemed to care. i got my money back and have not ordered from them since.

 

sorry to hear about your case though, definately worse than mine

Scottyboy:

 

I feel for you. A similar thing happened to me about five or six years ago. The pizza was from another pizza shop -- in Green Valley -- and within two hours after eating about half of it, both ends of my body began trying to purge it. I tried to tough it out, figuring I'd be better the next day, but I wasn't.

 

After two more days of vomiting and diarrhea, my wife called an ambulance. The ER doctors said I had put off treatment so long that it could have killed me. I was so dehydrated that my potassium levels and electrolytes counts (whatever that means) were close to fatal.

 

The next two days and nights were spent in intensive care where nurses (God bless them) had to change my diapers and clean me up every ten minutes or so, while the lab guys tried to find what was needed to treat me. After eliminating the usual suspects, they eventually determined that I had been infected by some sort of rare water-borne contaminant.

 

Funny thing, I have eaten all sorts of strange things in all sorts of strange places on six continents, and never had a intestinal problem that lasted more than a few hours until I encountered that pizza. It was a while before I could eat one again.

I've never got it as bad as you and Bill but I feel for you man. Glad you are doing better

[Kilimanjaro]

Thanks guys.. I feel 100X better than I did yesterday for sure!! That was an experience that I never want to go through again!!

 

Bill, WOW!! I want to say that I could never imagine having to be put in the ICU for a pizza, but after my bout, I could see how an injested "bug" could kill ya just as easily as a bullet. That was some BAD stuff!! Your's sounded about as bad as it can get!! The EMS's were sure right about low potassium and electrolyes will kill ya dead. Quick. I've actually been drinking Pedialyte (an infant rehydration drink) to get my levels back up.

I kept thinking that each time I threw up would be the last, but 20 min later, it'd start all over. After doing that more times than I could count, I threw in my chips and went to the ER. By the time I decided to go to the ER, I was so dehydrated that I couldn't see straight and had to call work to come and get me and take me. Because of the nature of my job, dehydration is beat into our brains all the time.. We get taught all the symptoms and the changes the body goes through as it progresses, and I was starting to get bad. No moisture in my eyes or mouth, horrible cramps in my lower back, and not being able to think clearly.

Let's just say that buffalo wings wont be on my menu ever again..

Just run it off.

You'll feel better after about the seventh mile.

 

 

 

 

All kidding aside, glad you feel better. A bad case of food poisoning is no laughing matter.

When I was in school they gave us all these actual case scenarios on what can happen when food born illness sets in.

The worst accidents are allergies...like when you are allergic to oysters and don't know it, then slurp down a half a dozen.

Dude was dead in five minutes.

The sad thing is that it is very hard to prove a food poisoning case. You got teenage workers that don't care if they pick their nose or wash their hands and then make a pizza afterward When I went through my ordeal I was ready to sue everyone right down to that stinkin cows offspring

You were smarter than I was. I would never have gone to the hospital if my wife hadn't called an ambulance. I now know that if she hadn't, there would have been a hearse coming for me the next morning.

Honestly, it is not their nose that I am worried about them picking!!!!!!

I got food poisoning from ham and eggs deer hunting in CO. I was hunting with some of my dads friends and was trying to tough it out, so I knew I was going to hurl so I said "I am going to go glass over here from the tree line" made the tree line and puked, smelled so bad I puked again. Then my lower end got jealous so I sprinted through the woods to get away from the road, dropped my britches adn let her rip. I heard a truck coming and was congratulating myself on getting away from the road, when I looked to my left and I was oh about 3 yards from it. Well I tore my blaze orange vest off and ducked my head until the truck as about passed, it was a guy and his 2 hot daughters Only then did I realize I still had on my blaze orange boonie hat!! Well I gave them plenty of time to get down the road past my buddy, walked out of the treeline and lo and behold, they are standing there talking to him So me being stoic can only say, "well there is no stinking deer over in that stand of trees!!" Oh and to top it off I blew chunks in his truck again coming up the road from telluride to trout lake!! yee ha. I could not eat ham and eggs for several weeks!! ag
