Have you ever gotten sick from salmonella after eating at a fast food place?

A friend of mine got really sick one time
after eating a Hardy's burger.
I guess the meat was tainted or not cooked
properly. Maybe it was salmonella.
Since then, I've been worried that the same
thing would happen to me, so I don't eat there
anymore.
Have you ever gotten sick with salmonella poisoning
after eating at a fast food restaurant.

My dad and I, both on seperate occasions got sick from Hardy's. We found out that they were not properly refrigerating the mayo and about 35 people complained, including myself, on my occasion. My dad said it was the mayo when he, and 12 others, complained to the store. Needless to say, they refused to correct the problem and the health department shut them down. We haven't had a Hardy's where I live in about 20 years now.
Oh and just about a month ago, my boyfriend and I went shopping and stopped at a Captain D's and both got sick for about 3 days. We thought it was the flu until my brother verified that he went to the same one and went to the hospital to be diagnosed with food poisoning. I am glad I cook at home for the most part. I would hate for my kids to get what I did. That's too risky.

That's scary! I've had food poisoning
from bad fish.
It's no laughing matter.

My hubby got sick from Taco Bell ( or Taco Hell, as he now calls it) He normally doesn't eat fast food too often, but we were in a mall and he decided he wanted Mexican.
About 5 days later he started having pains in his belly and they lasted for nearly 14 days. He could only manage to eat one meal a day and ended up eating yogurt and activa for a week to get his stomach back to normal.
And just like that, 6 or 7 pounds later, the problems finally disappeared.

No, not that I can think of. But, I did get sick from eating food crumbs that happened to drop out of a microwave.. I will never do this again. The microwave was located in a building that I had Job Skill classes at.. My stomach was in pain after that..

Oh, I'm so sorry about your pain.
I know how bad stomach cramps and pain
can be.
You never know what is on food.
Wonder how we all survive.

I also have a friend who suffered from salmonella after eating at some restaurant. He need to be confined to hospital for three days because he become dehydrated. Since then he never eat again on that particular restaurant again.

I had salmonella poisoning before, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I was so sick for at least three days. I had gone to the St Genarro festival in New York one year. I ate grilled chicken on a stick, which was pretty tasty. It doesn't come down on you right away. There's like a three to five day period before it hits you. I was so sick, the pains in my stomach, the vomitting, and bathroom duties were non stop. I took everything to try to ease my pain and the other symptoms, but nothing helped. I wish that on no one, not a good experience.
