I can attest to the fact that one case of serious food poisoning can
turn one off for life. I used to enjoy red squid legs but I've never
eaten any since I got sick for days with the worst case of FP I've ever
had. That was over 30 years ago and I'd like to have some red squid legs
but don't feel quite ready to take a chance. It's PDSD - Post Diarrhea
Stress Syndrome. :-)
