That is still circling around. It was just regurgitated (pun totally intended) in an Allrecipes article. I get their emails and there's all kinds of silly stuff there. They DO alert of food recalls though, which could be useful. I'm not too afraid of cooked food, its the raw stuff I am careful with. Fruits and vegetables can carry dangerous stuff too, usually introduced by human handling or poor farm practices. Cross contamination of raw meats etc. over to uncooked stuff like salads are a common problem in both home and commercial kitchens.
That's one reason some say to never wash your chicken. I saw an expose' where they put a substance on a chicken that shows up under black-light and had a person wash the chicken like they always thought they were supposed to. Had them clean up as they normally would then came in with the black light. They found splattering over 6 feet away on the counter nowhere near the sink! Where the person never thought to sanitize. Their dish drying rack was right there next to the sink. Many people never think to move that let alone sanitize it after washing meat near it.
I've often wondered when people say they had food poisoning whether they had it somehow actually verified or diagnosed medically. Did you, or did you associate the timing with it...like by the time you got home from a restaurant you were in gastrointestinal hell?
I'm the reverse age-wise to you. In my 20's I had bubbling guts all the time. Seldom did I get sick from what I thought was food that made me throw up. I would prophylactically take Immodium before going out to dinner because like clockwork, the bubbling guts would come. Turns out, I was likely suffering from IBS. At age 60, I almost never have those bouts, and if bubbling guts comes, its usually very short lived and doesn't come with the doubling over cramps and pain like in my 20's. Is that TMI or just old people conversation?

I took one bite of linguica, chewed it twice and it was off so I spit it out. 1/2 an hr later I started feeling hot and felt like I was gonna puke, by the time I got home which was 45 minutes from exposure I was on the pot and puking at the same time. I was sick for two days,I couldn't holddown chicken broth or water. It was horrific. I didn't eat linguica for many yrs, and Ilove the stuff. The second time was from under done chicken, same deal, one bite, same outcome. No Dr needed, just had to let it run through me like a train.
It was absolutely brutal.
