TIL: Today I Learned...

Same same.. ive also had food poisoning exactly three times.. all in my mid-late 40s, so within the last 5 yrs.. there were plenty of times in my life i *thought* i had food poisoning- but once you REALLY get it, you know it.. there is projectile everything, there is no leaving the bathroom for 6-8 hours and NO orifice is spared……. First time was from some preprepared frozen chicken meal from Whole Foods.. second time was Chick Fil A… third and most recent was a chicken burrito in Thailand.. yet i continue to consume chicken.. luckily it happened a few days before my flight back from Thailand; if it had happened day of, or day before my flight- that would have been my personal definition of hell on Earth .


Im guessing humans must become more susceptible to food poisoning as they get older, otherwise i cant figure why i never had it til my mid 40s and then three times since then… my eating habits havent changed .
I had mine in Italy- prosciutto e melon from some place that was in between a cafe and ‘food truck’ situation
And actually I’m pretty sure it was the melon that got me
This was lunch and we had a performance that night
3 minutes before curtain going up I’m just laying on stage in a fetal position
Luckily I’d done this piece many dozens of times so I could sorta sleepwalk through it, but yikes that was no fun
