Probably from old meat, then, or stuff that sat out too long. I can
get mild FP from ground beef when nobody else eating the same thing
gets it. Too sensitive to meat, I think.

I had a friend whose husband was sick for over a year with salmonella-
based FP from a 4th of July picnic. I don't know if he ever totally
recovered.
