Today, I made spaghetti bolognese for three people. Of those three people, only one got food poisoning. Me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Two rooms, two atmospheres
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 got food poisoning for the first time after cooking. Yesterday, I met my boyfriend's family for the first time. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from my wedding food. 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, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML
The squits
Today, I got food poisoning from a restaurant that I had chosen for our company party. Everyone who went blamed me for their predicament. I also had to run to the toilet every ten minutes while they were all mad at me. FML
The blame game
Today, I got bad food poisoning. Again. The first time I thought it was the stomach bug that’s going around, so once I felt better, I proceeded to eat leftover food that actually got me sick the first time. FML
Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML
All in the Family
Today, my mother brought home dinner for four people. I was not one of those people. The dog, however, was. FML

Well, honestly if I were to make food for other people I'd rather myself get sick than the people I'm serving. But still, food poisoning sucks.

I think I would prefer it that way

Yeah I think like a few other people have said that it may have been something else that you ate and not your spaghetti.

Honestly, it's better it was the cook than someone else.

I agree with the other people, it probably wasn't the spaghetti and also at least everyone didn't get sick, you'd probably not have guests over for dinner anymore!

If it was the spaghetti bolognese that caused it, and only you got sick, it's more likely you're allergic to one or more of the ingredients in the dish than it being food poisoning. Or, like others have said, you got sick from something else.

While "food poisoning" is often blamed for upset stomachs, vomiting, and diarrhea, it is actually uncommon (considering how often we eat) to get actual food poisoning. More than likely you picked up a virus at some point, and it manifested after you ate the spaghetti. This is a typical "it must have been something I ate" response, when, in fact, it is actually unrelated to your diet at all. Had it been the result of eating spoiled or contaminated food, your dinner guests would have also felt the effects. I know that doesn't really help the symptoms.

If you all ate the same dinner are you sure it wasn't something else you had?

As others have said, it takes 4 - 24 hours for food poisoning to manifest. But if it was the bolognese, you probably were exposed while preparing it--always be careful around raw meat, and clean frequently as you go (utensils, surfaces and hands).

Real food poisoning comes on after 24 hours of eating the spoiled/bad food, if you were just sick that evening it was probably unrelated to the meal.

Food poisoning can come hours or even weeks after eating bad food. It depends on what is causing the problem.

Food poisoning takes a day or two to have effect after you ate something bad, so it probably wasn't the spaghetti.

Nobody ever seems to realize that, though.

Should have given them the tainted portions. Can't give your enemies food poisoning if you eat the wrong portion.
