HarryHolden68: "Yet I am always fascinated by people who allege food poisoning. Food poisoning kills people. At best, you will be in bed for several days and most likely you will face a spell under medical care being re-hydrated."
Food poisoning does not always result in a multi-day stay in bed. I have fallen victim to it a few times, and was once hospitalised, but on each occasion, it passed over within 24 hours.
