I got food poisoning yesterday from the local "fast food" place's creme cheese that came with my bagel at lunch...had to be, since it's the only thing I ate. Got severe heartburn starting at 6:30 yeasterday, followed by severe cramping. Today I am running a fever (started around 4pm) and my blood pressure seems to have shot through the roof since 7:30pm. My face is beet red like a bad sunburn, but blotchy. Is this normal, or should I get my ass to the ER? Just askin...
I've had food poisoning before, and simply threw up and got over it by the next day...Never got "sick" with this...It's just really wierd... Blood pressure has been up for about an hour, but not as bad as when it first started. |

It is one of those questions that if you have to ask... you are better off just going.
Sounds like an allergic reaction rather than poisoning ![]() Go Now. That's a note from Mom... Go... NOW.

But MOOOOMMMMM!!! I'm not allergic to it, I eat it all the time...but I also don't want to go to the ER for something that might run it's course. Yeah, I know...but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this happens with food-borne illness like poisoning. If I don't feel better shortly, I will be going to the hospital. Right now, I am drinking lots of fluids mommy.

You could take a couple Benadryl if you have them but tell the ER folks if you do.
Allegic reactions can be dangerous Angee. |

There is no one kind of food poisoning...there are about 15 different types of bacteria, viruses and other nasties (not including food adulteration; when non-food poisons and chemicals get accidentally mixed in with foods). It may not be the food you ate today....many of the nastiest bacterias can take uo to 72 hrs to show symptoms. The blood pressure issue is the one to be concerned about...extraordinarily high blood pressure, with or without high fever can do permanent kidney damage. listen to your friends and go get checked out now...............................

yup. hospital NOW. no ifs, ands or buts, dads orders.
its best to just be sent home by them knowing whats wrong over staying home, and having to dial 911 because you didnt go earlier. |

Either go now, or unlock your front door so EMS can get in without breaking the door.
![]() I had a friend learn that the hard way. Seriously, it's one of those questions that have an automatic answer of "yes". Kind of like "Should we call 9-1-1?"
