| | | No more beef jerky
What a week...
I ate some beef jerky late Monday night and about an hour and a half later started feeling a bit uneasy in the stomach. I finally got to sleep around 3am, although I was still feeling pretty bad. I awoke around 4am violently ill...vomiting, chills, etc. Went to the emergency room around 6am where I was given an IV for dehydration and some anti-nausea medicine. Food poisoning at its finest.
I got home around noon on Tuesday and was in and out of sleep the rest of the day - absolutely fatigued. Come Wednesday morning I awoke groggy with a bit of a headache. The headache then gradually increased throughout the day to a point of intolerable pain. I tried ibuprofen, but it did nothing. I tried getting some sleep, but the pain was so bad I couldn't sleep more than 15 - 20 minutes before awakening. It felt as if my head was in a vice I could not escape from. Miserable.
I went to the doctor today and was given medicine for a migraine, which was likely caused by the food poisoning/dehydration/lack of eating. I'm only now beginning to feel somewhat normal again. Thank God for codeine. That pain was unrelenting and unbearable.
Never again will I eat beef jerky.  |

| | | Been down that road before, and I know it sucks.
Eat lunch at work one night (night shift) Was feeling fine until an hour after I got home. Went down hill fast.....
Wife took me to the ER, and by time we got there, I was out of it.. They had to come get me in a wheel chair from the parking lot. 2 IV's and Meds....I thought I was going to die. I crashed in a hospital bed for a few minutes and awoke screaming for a nurse.....as soon as a whole team came rushing in.....everything in my gut came rushing out.....LOL.....while they wre cleaning the mess, I fell back asleep. HAHA,
Food poisoning is nasty stuff. Some cases are worse than others, but man, I don't want it again!!!
Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!!!!!!!

| | | I'm not sure how you got food poisoning from beef jerky as it's cooked and dried, unless it wasn't cooked at the proper temp. It could have been something before that. To prevent illness, it has to be cooked to proper temperature, which for beef would be 165 degrees I believe. Not sure what the other ingredients are in beef jerky besides beef and spices.
True story--you can take raw meat like a nice big roast, leave it out on your counter for a couple of DAYS and as long as you cook it to the proper temperature it is safe to eat and will not make you sick. I don't recommend this, and I'm not sure it will taste "good", but it's absolutely true.
