Today, my family of five and I decided to have homemade sushi. We did not prepare the fish correctly, and now we all have excruciating food poisoning. The worst part? We only have one bathroom. FML

Today, my entire family, myself included, has been turned into a collective diarrhea fountain after going out to eat. We only have one bathroom. FML

Today, I and several housemates have food poisoning. From what? Last night's Subway, which we only got to avoid eating the pork that was possibly bad as none of us wanted to be sick. FML

Today, I was hit by acute food poisoning while attending a colleague's birthday party at his home. The toilet had a door that wouldn't close all the way, there were only three sheets of toilet paper left, and I had to walk home through town, in a dress, with my soiled underwear in a plastic bag.

Today, I spent all day and last night in the bathroom. The seafood I'd been keeping in the refrigerator apparently had gone bad, and is now intent on finding its every possible route to the Great Porcelain Whirlpool. FML

Today, I tried to cook a nice meal for my sister's friends. It turned out perfect and they enjoyed it, while I was in the bathroom throwing up for two hours due to food poisoning. FML

Today, I finally won an ongoing battle with my family to go to a restaurant I like, rather than a restaurant I hate with a passion. Now I'm throwing up, and my back is killing me. I'm the only one who got food poisoning. FML

Today, I warned my husband not to eat the seafood he'd left on the counter. He insisted it was fine. He’s now been in the bathroom shitting, puking and wailing for three hours. Our place is tiny and the bathroom is attached to our bedroom. The door doesn’t keep out the noise or the rancid smell. FML

I'm sure you weren't preparing blowfish. Next time wash your hands before you prep food, Señorita Assfingers...

Um, who says their hands weren't washed? Food poisoning can happen for various reasons which INCLUDES but is not limited to hand-washing.

Theres no "preparation" in sushi fish. You rinse it quick then put it on rice or a roll etc. But next time leave it to the japanese to make sushi, go to a sushi place.

Don't really understand how sushi can be prepared "wrong" seeing as it's basically raw fish on rice... I've made sushi with my Japanese friends several times without any problems, and we just bought normal raw fish at the supermarket (in europe/japan). Maybe OP's fish was old/gone bad? (or is there something strange going on with the supermarket fish in the US that I don't know of..?) Hope you feel better soon OP. Food poisoning sucks :(

What #111 said. There isn't much "preparing" the fish except for cutting it into right-sized pieces. If all of you are ill, it just means the fish you ate wasn't exactly "fresh", if you know what I mean.

I'm not gonna say YDI. I'm sure the good poisoning is enough to say that and then some. I just hope you leave the sushi making to chefs and those who specialize in it from now on. The fish has to be flash frozen and prepared a certain way to kill any bacteria, parasites, etc. That's why it's really just best to leave it to the pros.

I've seen many ads for classes on it at one if the culinary schools. I think if I were to take up trying to prepare something I was unsure of at home, I'd take the class. The ones I see are night/hobby type classes do you don't have to dedicate a lot of time to them. But you do learn safety techniques.
