By mid night he could not stop shaking, by 3 a.m. he was vomiting over and over. Its 8:30 he still got the shakes and dry heving. This is almost 10 hours later. Is this food posioning if so what can he do to make hisself feel better. He is the type of person who dont missed work for nothing. He got an half of hour to get ready. He told me that the steak was well done on one sided, may not be cook through on the other side, and there was something on it he could not identify because he was eating in the dark, he said it taste like pure gas or maybe onion dip in gas then cook. Whatever it was it didnt tast to good. He ate it in a hurry because he was very hungry and work 10 hours shift and have not eaten for almost 2 days.

Answer 1

could possibly be food poisoning.  Should really seek medical attention right away.  The beef could have been contaminated also.  With e-coli, it is not good to take chances especially with meat products.

Answer 2

He has food poisoning and should see a doctor.

Answer 3

Ok that sounds bad. It should only be food poisoning, but to be safe, he should go to a doctor and get himself cheked out. Next, you should go to the Burger King you went to and tell them your story. They should give you your money back, even thoughit was only like 3 bucks. You should also ask to speak to the manager, and tell him what had happened. Lastly, never eat Burger king again. I stopped too because of that.

Answer 4

Could be food poisoning, could be the flu. Not something to mess with wither way, medical attention would be a good start.  Could also be from not eating, his stomach and body are not handling the greasy food well.  This has often occured with people.  The gas taste is common at burger king from the flame broil system, that is one of the things that turns me off with their food.

Answer 5

go to hospital immediately

Answer 6

He should get to the hospital right away. Your health is a very precious thing.  He should take care of himself, so he can go to work and function properly.

Answer 7

That sounds more severe that food poisoning.

Food poisoning generally only last about 24 hours, things like the flu and other illnesses can last basically until you get treatment.  If he was already feeling down emotionally, that means he could be more likely to get sick from anything.

Until you can get to a doctor, give him tylenol and as much fluids as he can take.  Water is fine.

Do you have Urgent Care?  For me this is a step between seeing a doctor in his office and going to the ER.  That's what I would recommend.  Call your doctor and describe how he feels, but for me I would rest for another 6 hours and see if I'm getting better or worse.  Going the ER sucks bc it takes so much time, so I never rush there.

Answer 8

go to hospital
