Mac & cheese have been ruined for me by that instinct that makes you disgusted by the last thing you ate before getting a stomach bug. Cmon body it’s not a novel type of berry or won’t be poisonous this time
Had the same thing with coconut. Used to like it, until I paired it with the flu. Now I can’t have anything that I can’t have anything that tastes like it or I get queasy. That happened when I was a child and it has carried into being an adult.
Interestingly enough if you had a strong enough preference for something it kind of overrides that instinct. I did the same thing with lasagna and I still eat that shit up like Garfield.
I am of the persuasion that stomach bugs do not exist.
Food poisoning is more common than one would think, but also takes a bit longer than one would think.
I am of the persuasion that rabies doesn’t exist.
I’ve never gotten it, so therefore it’s a myth.
Yeah, tell that to my wife who got the stomach flu so bad, she collapsed in the parking lot of the ER.
*food poisoning
Stomach flu is viral and food poisoning is bacterial. 2 different things.
I do remember hearing that that food poisoning is the fault of something you ate much earlier that week. But also, food seems to stay 1-4 days in my body after eating it. So if that were the case the puke impulse wouldn’t clear out the thing that caused the illness, it would be in the intestines or out of the body already. If puking evolved it must be for a reason
It’s the little baddies that ride the food in and multiply that’s bad. When they hit critical mass, the body expels them.
Depends on the food iirc. I had bad sushi that had me puking within maybe six hours. God that was a nightmare, and I hate that I’m hesitant to try my favorite food again. At the same time I’m grateful that it didn’t seem to get digested enough to go through both ends
