Today, it was our one year anniversary. After a surprise re-creation of our first date, we went home, in the mood for love. The food poisoning from the restaurant had a different idea. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

food poisoning generally won't show any effects until at least 24 hrs...

Not true, ingested bacterial toxin can manifest within 6 hours.

Is this a nice town or a middle-higher income community? I feel they would be stricter than the ones I know.

Sounds more like a food allergy that you both might share. Cause sure enough if it's food poisoning it takes 12-24 hours to kick in. Look at what you ate 24 hours BEFORE the date.

Erm, no, not necessarily. Symptoms can occur as early as 2 hours after eating contaminated food. It really depends on the type of food poisoning.

We went to McDonalds for breakfast the other morning and the guy working the cash register gave us our utensils. He wore no gloves, the utensils had no plastic on them and he touched the part where we would eat off of. I was completely annoyed. My husband offered to lick the fork for me so he would get the germs and not me. It definitely should be a requirement at any restaurant for them to wear gloves when preparing and serving food and they shouldn't be allowed to handle anything food related if they are working with money, dirt or cleaning products.

It takes 24 hours for food poisoning to set in. Whatever you ate was from the night before.
