No fever, so probably something I et was etin’ me.
Oh, golly. I’m so very sorry. That such a horrible feeling, and dehydration usually follows.
TRUE STORY
Went all day eating very little. Busy. Had my morning coffee, but that was about it. Come evening I’m pretty hungry, so I get some spaghetti going, and while it’s in process go to take out some trash.
On the counter is an empty canister that had those peanut-filled pretzel snacks in it; all gone but some crumbs in the bottom; maybe a teaspoon full. I happen to like pretzel crumbs, so I ate them.
A half hour later sitting down to feast on my spaghetti, I feel the onset of a wave of nausea.
Ten minutes later I’m 100% FINE, got back to my dinner, and enjoyed it completely with no further drama.
In the middle, I recalled something about using salt water to induce vomiting, and the whole picture came together. Suffice to say I won’t be so gung ho about salty pretzel crumbs in the future. At least, not on an empty stomach.
