Please don’t try to pass out rather than v*. You could potentially choke on v* and die.

Go to restaurants that are nicer and hire real trained chefs. While it is t a guarantee that they’ll be perfect, chefs and trained cooks all have to pass food safety certifications to graduate.

I don’t love it, but I’ve learned to deal with short exposures like that. Sometimes I even force myself to stick it out and watch it because I feel like it’ll help me in some way. If it’s happens...

I would take charcoal if I were you. Like...a lot of charcoal. Not to frighten you, but that’s what I would do. Rice Is a common source of fp. Hope you are alright! It’s possible that your...

You can try using heat. I don't know how effective that is. I've heard good things about peroxide, too. Boil anything that can be boiled and you can try cleaning with very, very hot water...so you...

Load up on sea bands, gin gins (ginger candy), ginger and/or peppermint tea, and peppermint candies and gum if you start getting m.s. They all calm nausea. :). Congratulations.

I am not afraid to drink. I am not afraid to be around drunk people, either. I never drink enough to v, and when drunk people v, I do panic a little, but it doesn't cause real anxiety for me...

Not likely at all. If it was defrosting for about two hours, it was likely still cold enough to be fine when it went into the cooler. That combined with the salt content and the cooking (which...

This sounds like food poisoning to me. Usually a virus lasts for at least a whole 24 hours. V* and d* for around 6-8 hours, and feeling like crap for the rest. I wouldn't worry about the cats,...

If everyone just stayed home when they were sick, far, far fewer people would end up sick. It's crazy to think about it!

Are you able to seek therapy? It could really help, at least wi dealing with anxiety...enough to be happier while you figure things out.

I am a gardener and a forager. I get spider webs all over me all the time. It's just about the creepiest feeling ever, but it won't make you sick. :)

Nah. There's not enough food to grow enough bacteria to do that to you from something stuck in your teeth. No worries. For example: there was a scare in the U.S. a bit ago where peanut butter had...

Nope! I am that person that thinks I can smoke when I have a drink, then I try and choke a bunch. Lol

TPBM likes to keep their fingernails painted!

I am a chef...and hot dogs have sooo many preservatives and sooo much salt. I wouldn't be very worried!

False! (Knock on wood...)

TPBM is a fantastic baker!

I don't think you can take too many probiotics! Especially if you're taking an antibiotic. I would try to eat things that are not too challenging to digest, too. Perhaps get some fermented...

I wouldn't worry about that! People are overly cautious about that a lot of the time. Often, I will even cut moldy or soft parts off and eat the rest. I am always fine!

I don't burp a lot. I get the sensation in my stomach, and it takes at least five minutes for me to burp, sometimes longer. And when I burp, it is generally very small. I can't force them out,...
