The Food Poisoning Scene

Nonsense. Sorry, it does just happen like that. It is widely misunderstood namely by you. Food poisoning covers a variety of categories

Just because it *CAN* take far longer does not mean that is always the case, same as if it happens quickly, it does not mean that it was food you just ate, since it could be caused by a meal you had the day before.

My last case of food poisoning occurred inside of three hours. I dined with 5 people at a chinese restaurant. None of us had eaten together in the previous three days... three of us had egg rolls, two did not. All three of us that had egg rolls became violently sick.

SALMONELLA
Disease: Salmonellosis
Source: Spread when contaminated food (meat, poultry, eggs) is eaten raw or undercooked. Also, when cooked food comes in contact with contaminated raw food, or when an infected person prepares food.
Symptoms (after eating): Onset: 6-48 hours; nausea, fever, headache, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting lasting 2-7 days. Can be fatal to infants, the elderly, the infirm, and the immune-compromised.
Prevention: Separate raw foods from cooked foods. Thoroughly cook meat, poultry, and eggs. Consume only pasteurized milk, dairy products, and egg nog. Don't leave food at room temperature over 2 hours. Refrigerate below 40 degrees F.

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
Disease: Staph
Source: Carried by people on skin, in boils, pimples, and throat infections; spread when carriers handle food. Staph bacteria produce toxins (poisons) at warm temperatures. Meat, poultry, salads, cheese, eggs, custards, and cream-filled desserts are susceptible foods.
Symptoms (after eating):Onset: 1-8 hours;vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps lasting 1-2 days. Rarely fatal.
Prevention: Cooking won't destroy staph poison, so practice good personal hygiene and sanitary food handling. Don't leave perishable food unrefrigerated over 2 hours. For quick cooling, place hot food in small containers no more than 4 inches deep; cover when cool and refrigerate.

CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM
Disease: Botulism
Source: Most common in low acid foods canned improperly at home. The presence of these bacteria or their poisons is sometimes signaled by clear liquids turned milky, cracked jars, loose or dented lids, swollen or dented cans, or an "off" odor. Recently, botulism has also been associated with low oxygen cooked foods (i.e. foil wrapped; vacuum packaged) which have been held at room temperatures for long periods of time.
Symptoms (after eating): Onset: 4-72 hours; nervous system disturbances such as double vision, droopy eyelids, trouble speaking, swallowing, breathing. Untreated botulism can be fatal. If you or a family member have botulism symptoms, get medical help immediately. Then call health authorities.
Prevention: Carefully examine canned goods (particularly those canned at home), and don't use any canned goods showing danger signs. Also, cook and reheat foods thoroughly, keep cooked foods hot (above 140 degrees F) or cold (below 40 degrees F) and divide large portions of cooked food into smaller portions for serving and cooling.

CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS
Disease: Perfringens food poisoning
Source: "Buffet germ" that grows rapidly in large portions of food that cool slowly. It grows in chafing dishes which may not keep food sufficiently hot and in the refrigerator if food is stored in portions too large to cool quickly.
Symptoms (after eating): Onset: 8-24 hours; diarrhea, gas pains, nausea, and sometimes vomiting lasting only a day. Usually mild, but can be serious in ulcer patients, the elderly, ill, or immune-compromised.
Prevention: Keep food hot (above 140 degrees F) or cold (below 40 degrees F). Divide bulk cooked foods into small portions for serving and cooling. Reheat leftovers to at least 165 degrees F. Take special care with poultry, stew, soup, gravy, and casseroles.

One of my frat brothers once ate nine hot dogs and drank six Killians in twenty minutes. Then wouldn't you know it, three months later, he was on his bicycle and got hit by a car.

So, there's your proof.

Proof that making IMDB posts is not the best way to deal with insomnia.

So how come a few years ago when I went to see Star Trek, I only ate one thing that before the movie, KFC, and I got very very ill during the course of the movie.

Here is the key line in your initial post:

"it usually has an onset time of over 12 hours."

do you know what "usually" means?

Then I'll assume you know that it does not mean "always"

as such, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the supposition that the women came down with Staph, or something else based on this:

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
Disease: Staph
Source: Carried by people on skin, in boils, pimples, and throat infections; spread when carriers handle food. Staph bacteria produce toxins (poisons) at warm temperatures. Meat, poultry, salads, cheese, eggs, custards, and cream-filled desserts are susceptible foods.
Symptoms (after eating):Onset: 1-8 hours;vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps lasting 1-2 days. Rarely fatal.
Prevention: Cooking won't destroy staph poison, so practice good personal hygiene and sanitary food handling. Don't leave perishable food unrefrigerated over 2 hours. For quick cooling, place hot food in small containers no more than 4 inches deep; cover when cool and refrigerate.


"I assure you, I know what I am talking about. "

Sorry, your assurances don't mean anything....when myself and the three friends all had onset of vomiting and nausea within three hours, then diarrhea around 4 hours and it was coming out like wildfire from both ends, I should have saved you a bucket and smashed your head into it...then you could really assure me.

I have had norovirus, where the onset was 24-36 hours...I have also had the experience I mentioned where it was under three for vomiting and four for diarrhea

You do not know more than the FDA and this stipulates multiple instances of food poisoning of different types that contradict the stupid, useless war you have started in this thread regarding initial onset times

http://www.fda.gov/food/foodsafety/foodborneillness/foodborneillnessfoodbornepathogensnaturaltoxins/badbugbook/ucm071342.htm




Oh and get a grip...it is a stupid comedy movie...not the Center For Disease Control you idiot.

As the FDA and Government of NSW state
"Usually diarrhoea from a contaminated food does not start until at least 4-6 hours after having eaten that food and can be as long as 3 days after consumption."

Not to mention, there was nothing in the film that stated that they went *RIGHT* to the bridal store you pedantic nonce. Also, since you are so pedantic, you should note the word "usually" which immediately blows everything you have said out of the water since you said it too.

Do you know what "usually" means?

"Most of the time; less than always, but more than occasionally."

that is not all the time, and as a science you should know that if it is not always, then it can and does happen and your proof is not empirical or correct, you fool.

They could have been at the restaurant for two hours having a grand old time drinking and had eaten the contaminated food in the first half hour.
They could have then gone shopping, went to the park, walked around for two hours..then had another half hour before they were standing there in the fitting line...that would hit the four hour mark for onset.

so your whole stupid thread is irrelevant.

P*ss off, useless twit. Call me back when you *MAJOR* in microbiology and actually provide assurances that are actually assured.

oh and again...Here is an assurance for you:

IT IS ONLY A MOVIE ANYWAY, YOU BABY

Do people like you go to movies just so you can have a terrible time? Or is it so you can nitpick and criticize irrelevant points afterwards? Or maybe just to be an arrogant dick? It has to be one of these and I'm just dying to know which one.

I know this thread is old, etc., but seriously Rylant. First of all the food poisoning scene was not necessarily or "pretty clearly" very shortly after they had eaten, secondly you sound like a jackass. People get diarrhea shortly after eating food their system disagrees with all the time.

























Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
if your cup is full, may it be again

What an incredible load of bollocks. Believe me, I am a Doctor. That is, I've seen 2 seasons of E.R.

The time between their lunch and the fitting is not revealed. In "movie time" it seems like it was right after lunch, but it could also have very well been several hours (although not likely) between those two times.

But I also got food poisoning a couple hours after eating at a Chinese 'restaurant.' a couple hours after.

I do understand that the the bacteria needs time to do its damage, but everyone is different.

[deleted]

I most certainly did not "Come along and say some not nice things to you".

I related a personal unpleasant story.
Nothing more

"Op, that is nonsense.

I had food poisoning three times in the past decade...onset in all three cases was inside of three hours. "

There is nothing "not nice to you" in that. You just decided to go on a screed

You become rotten and pedantic and obnoxious, telling me about an experience I had that you did not witness.

I hold ill-will towards you because you started a stupid thread, someone disagreed with you, you then proceeded to lecture them about something you did not witness.
I found you to be stupid and I found your bullheaded defense of your little corner based, rather pathetic, based on evidence you did not see and that I had no agenda to promote, other than relating an experience. You then begin an assault, telling me I did not actually have the experience I did and made your fatal "Usually" mistake. Ever since, you have been dancing, knowing that my predicament with my three friends was completely possible in scientific terms and not all that strange, even if not the norm.


You are hardly "super chill". Super chill people don't whine about a food-poisoning scene in a stupid comedy movie because it was not biologically viable and whose inaccuracy might destroy the particular mis-en-scene of any actual film where the Bridesmaids scene could occur.

Oh Great, Rylant has come to the kegger everyone!
You sound like a ball of fun. Do you talk about the fermentation process and the affects of alcohol on the human nervous system, when every one just wants to drink their beer? Or *USUALLY* not.


The only other thing less significant is one guy being a pedantic jackass who claims to be some type of scholarly scientist, because he minored in Microbiology, which of course he did not major in, or seemingly get a masters or doctorate in, but is not much use when it comes to actual things like empirical evidence, possibility and other people's eyewitness and firsthand experiences.

I am simply glad that microbiology is as casual a hobby for you as film criticism...you seem to do both quite stridently and neither particularly well.

Really quite a pleasure discussing things with such a reasonable and settled scientific mind. Or such a scientific never-mind.
