Yeah... so I just ate meat from WalMart.... wtf

[UberDave]

I purchased the meat (hamburger) from WalMart on saturday the 13th. I just had a couple burgers the other day and I remember a thread that slipped my mind about something w. Ecoli = Walmart???? When was the announcement / recall??

:Q

e:

what are the chances of actually getting the virus? Symptoms are vomiting / explosive poop / etc? Right?

 

[BatmanNate]

Since when does rat meat carry ecoli?

 

[minendo]

People infected by E. coli O157: H7 can develop a range of symptoms. Some infected people may have mild diarrhea or no symptoms at all. Most identified cases develop severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Blood is often seen in the stool. Usually little or no fever is present.

$100 would have bought a lot of condoms and reduced the total number of threads in OT by 3.

How come?

How come?

'Cause most of us don't believe in living on seeds and berries alone.

Ok, I had ecoli 3 years ago from poorly cooked ground beef. Not fun at all. Here's what you should look for:

-EXTREME cramps; I pretty much layed in bed and cried. The pain killers I got from the doctor did NOT help.
-lots of vomitting; you eat food and then maybe 1-2 hours later you vomit it up.
-diarrhea w/ blood; even if you've vomitted up all your food, you're still going to crap blood. I crapped blood for almost 6 days (went on antibiotics 12 hours after starting).

If you think this is you, see your doctor now. If it's after hours, go to the emergency room. You need to get antibiotics ASAP. They'll take a stool sample (I gave them a bunch of blood), test it, write a presciption and send you on your way. They called me back in a few days later to get some blood taken.

Also, if this is you, you won't be eating food for the next few days. For 7 days, I didn't eat, and could only drink "clear" liquids (water, gatorade, ....).

Needless to say, it was not a fun time at all. Good luck!
