Sunshine, my sister and I both got food poisoning after drinking pina colada milkshakes years and years and years ago and to this day just the thought of coconut and pineapple together makes us both feel sick.


 

Sunshine, when I was about 7 my family (4 kids) visited friends of ours who lived on a farm (also 4 kids) for the school holidays.  While we were there, one by one, all 12 of us came down with a 24-hour bug when you threw up for 24 hours and were then fine.  One day during this, we kids walked the farm collecting mushrooms.  That night, after dinner, both my sister and I got the bug and started throwing up, which continued like all the others for 24 hours.  However, as we were both sick after eating mushrooms for the very first time, we both associated mushrooms with throwing up and, to this day, just like pina coladas, I can't eat anything with mushrooms in it, even if it's just a sauce.  I've tried eating them but I just don't like the taste or consistency.

Another time, our entire extended family were having dinner at mum and dad's and we ordered chicken from a takeaway shop.  Only my 2 then brothers-in-law weren't there and they were the only 2 who didn't come down with food poisoning.  We all, once again, threw up for 24 hours.  However, I had no problem eating chicken after that, even from a takeaway place, even after I bought a chicken years later and discovered maggots inside!

But to be sick for an entire week!  I can't imagine that!
