    Default WHOA what just happened?

    I have no idea what just happened to me. im so freaked out right now. I hadent had anything to eat allll day so at 9 tonight i got some cereal i bought at walmart. In the middle of eating it, i started to feel like I was getting my period? you guys know the feeling..so i run to the bathroom and nothing(i just got over my period last week) So, i go back to eating my food..All of a sudden my stomach feels like the most HORRIBLE pains you could ever have and i start being able to not breathe. I seriously FLY onto the floor in pain, my body starts like..jumping? shaking on the ground, at that point im crying my eyes out. My body starts sweating really bad, and noone is home to help me and I cannot make it to the phone(i couldent even sit up, i was screaming in pain just laying down)


    So, i was stuck laying there and TMI-warning- I started throwing up all the food, and blood came up with it. After that, my legs got numb for about 10 mins and i was freezeing. It finally let up, but i was laying on the ground in the kitchen for 3 hours still with the stomach pain screaming. About 10 mins ago, it finally let up. I tried googling random stuff but nothing came up. Im just curious what the HELL THAT WAS?!!? oh yeah and i checked the date on the food and it says "eat before jun-2008" and the milk is good also..


    ps: I know i need to go to the doctor, but thats not an option right now. Im still paying off alot of my medical bills(no insurance)

    I'm not quite sure how food poisoning works, but what did you eat yesterday? I know that sometimes food you ate two days ago could still affect you.

    I don't have much advice, but as you can't see a doctor, are there any public clinics you could try?

    I don't know what getting a period feels like, however the rest sounds like good old fashioned poison. Was your cereal made in china? Have the cereal checked out, take it with you to the doctors appointment.

    This sounds like poison. Not food poisoning, actual poison. Get your ass to the ER. I'm sure you will have a case against the cereal company at the very least. The numb legs, that is not related to an ulcer. Do you mind posting what brand of cereal it was, so noone else gets ahold of it.

    Hope you are feeling better, pls keep us updated so we know you are ok.

    Take the cereal and the milk with you to the doctor's appointment. Have you been able to eat since then?

    Damn girl, how scary! I have no idea what that could have been. Maybe PM Dr. Wulf?
    Anyhow, I hope you are feeling better. Let us know what they say. Poor girl. :hugs:

    Just got home from the ER. Turns out it was RAT POISON HOLY SHIT!!! it was a very very very small amount, not enough to kill me?! just make me hurt like hell!!!! I had to get my stomach pumped. I was at the hospital for HOURS. I have had my stomach pumped before when i was very young, i felt alot better to leave so they finally let me(after basically begging for hours). The one pain im having now is my intestines feel like they are going to fall out when i walk. Alot better then what i was feeling. they took the box of cereal from me and everything. The brand is Kellogg's Mini-Wheats You know the kind with the frosting on top of it. I will never eat cereal again for the rest of my life!!!!! I hae alot of questions about what i can do legally but i am so tired right now on meds so i am going to go tosleep.

    I had my bf show this to his mom (a retired ER doc) and she guessed poison as well, but I'm glad you got to the doc before this! I hope you get some good sleep and feel better. I can't believe this happened. *hug*

    But in the morning: They need to start a recall.

    And a lawyer as well?

    Oh you poor woman! Rest well and feel better soon. What a horrible, terrifying experience. I can't imagine. I hope whoever is responsible gets what's coming to them.

    I would imagine the police or the feds needs to be involved as well...in case someone is tampering with cereal in a fashion similar to the contaminated tylenol cases in 1982 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Ch...ylenol_murders

    I'm glad you're okay.I'd get a lawyer in a heartbeat. It's scary to me because mini-wheats are my favorite..but I normally buy store brand.

    agreed, you need a lawyer ASAP! at the very least they can help contact the agencies that need to be contacted to make sure this isn't widespread. you MUST do it! Just think of all the kids that could be eating this (mine eat it!) that could die

    please please get a lawyer, call the cdc, call the walmart you bought it at and talk to the main manager, call the poison control center to report it. call everyone you can think of!!

    we're all so glad that you're ok!!!!! that is so scary!


    edited to add, also call the epa and usda

    Get the box back from the hospital if you can. You may need to have it as evidence.

    Update- Called my uncle(works in the courthouse) and told him everything, He has alot of lawyer friends so he is going to get me a good lawyer and help me out with the costs.I went to the walmart before talking to my uncle, and they basically blew me off saying I had no proof it was cereal from their store(I threw away my receipt on accident in the bag before i even opened the cereal) he was such a jerk! I guess i should have waited until i talked to a lawyer before i did that? I was just so angry..You buy something and you assume its safe to eat, ya know? So, then i had to go back to the hospital for more blood tests, check up, etc. It still feels like my stomach is going to fall out of me when im walking. I also had a fever of 100 this morning, but i got some meds from the doc and i feel a little better..Just a little dizzy..but good enough to be home.(i cant stay away from SW lol)

    sorry if this is confusing to read, im on alot of meds. anyway, thanks for all the support. Everyone else is blowing it off like "oh well get over it" i'd love to see how they would feel/act when they accidently eat poison!!!

    oh and i did call the health department, told them what happened, what brand, store, etc. but they needed some code or something on the box, so i gave them the hospital number and they never called me back so far.
