Food poisoning is caused by bad bacteria in your food. What did you eat at Mickey D's? Norovirus is what everyone calls the "stomach flu". It is a big misconception that the flu causes GI symptoms. Do you know of anyone you were around who was sick with the same thing?
To answer your other question, no, you should get rest. The longer you try to go on doing daily tasks (including exercising), the longer you will be sick. |
Thanks for the useful link.
I had a Smarties McFlurry and a large fries. My brother also had fries, and didn't get sick...so I think it's connected to the McFlurry. My thinking was that the machine, the cup, the ice-cream, any of it, could have been contaminated with someone's illness. So I really do appreciate your reply.
