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 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

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

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

Sounds like you cross contaminated yourself while cooking and that's why you were the only 1 to get sick

If only one got food poisoning then there is a good chance it was not from your food.

I don't think it was the spaghetti that did it. Just a guess. Think about what you ate before.

Then it wasnt a food borne illness

OP's masterful plan of giving her friends food poisoning failed, and in an ironic twist ended like an evil plan in a cartoon.

OP, I'm not sure that can exactly happen with food poisoning. my understanding is it's either bad food or it's not. I guess I'm just not understanding how you would get sick but the other two people would be fine, if they ate identical food, and it actually was food poisoning. Are you sure you don't just have a stomach bug not related to the food?

almost the same thing (vice versa :) happened to me once. A few of my Egyptian friends and I went to a cheap fish restaurant in Dubai and the next day all of them were sick but I was the only one fine. I guess I have a strong stomach or something

In that instance though everyone else got sick and you were the only one who didn't. That actually does make in pretty likely that you just got lucky and happen to have a strong stomach. In the OP's case though she would have to be the only one out of three people to not have a strong stomach and that's pretty unlikely. It is far more likely that the OP got food poisoning from something else they ate that day or that they caught a stomach bug and just thought it was the food.

well, it would've been worse if all of you had got poisoning. And yet worse if only the other two people had

What is "spaghetti bolognese?"
manuwish 9
I never heard someone getting sick from bolognese, the meat and vegs are cooked for ages, so unless it's a two week old warm up, there's no way you could get sick from it..salmonella and other bacteria prefer oxidizing meat (pig) or fish, often egg too but hardly nicely cooked beef. I must be something else your body didn't like..get well soon OP.

If you were the only one to get sick then it wasn't the spaghetti.
