Interesting. Crash and I both got sick the last time we ate at KFC (about
3 weeks ago). But we were SICK - for a week. Although they weren't able
to isolate a specific bacteria, they said that, based on the symptoms, it
was likely food poisoning. Can MSG cause severe, week-long problems?
Thanks - I'd really like to figure out why we got soooooo sick.
