My husband and I went out for Sushi this past Saturday night. We aren't
terribly adventurous in our Sushi-eating; mostly maguro, hamachi, and
salmon. We had these items along with the nice cucumber/crab salad and
some miso soup. Both of us had to excuse ourselves from the table, me
first, then him, and had the "D" word in the bathroom. This happened
twice to me in the same evening, and I've been fine since. Only a
little nausea today, but nothing Sunday.

This ever happen to anyone eating Sushi? Should I be concerned?

You should be concerned, because food poison takes a bit longer
than that. So chances are you got it elsewhere (or this is fake).

Some food poisoning can take up to 48 hours to hit you, so think
about the last two days worth of meals. One of them was tainted.

There are different types of food poisoning. Some poisons are
poisons (fugu: tetrodotoxin, FAST!). Some are allergens and can
cause anaphylactic shock (FAST). A lot of people have allergies
to shellfish, for example.

Many types of food poisoning are due to infectious agents
and symptoms are slower to appear. Bacterial infections:
salmonella, coliform, staph, E. coli, etc.

Other than the really FAST poisons (above), symptoms such as
yours from other poisons / allegens can appear in as little
as one hour - sometimes. Maybe three hours is more common
but an hour isn't impossible.

While I do think you and your husband should retrace your steps,
er, meals, it is possible that the problem was caused by something
in your sushi meal; not necessarily the sushi, but something
consumed at that restaurant. Do both of you have any food
allergies? E.g., bisulfite in wine or on salads causes respiratory
problems in sensitive people. It's an example of something you
might not have thought about. Maybe there was another additive
or preservative that caused your D problem?

True, but if it were fugo poisoning, I don't think we'd be responding
to this person.

The fastest sympton I've had was about 3 hours.

My father told me about an asthma attack he had due to sulfites used
to preserve lettuce. But that was an instant reaction, not an hour
or three. Most people I've talked with who have food allergies report
symptoms very quickly after exposure.

I just thought about something. Did they drink hot tea and miso soup
at the beginning of the meal?

Pepperoni pizza and a pitcher of cold beer will get you down to one hour or
less.

Once upon a time, we were so hungry, we ate some hamachi sushi that looked a
bit long in the tooth. It was. Once we got home (45 minutes later), it was
a made dash (fighting off the spouse) to the nearest biffy.

Yes, we both had hot tea, and we both had Miso Soup. The salad was just
cucumber, crab, and the vinegar/sugar mix, and then the tuna/hamachi and
salmon nigiri(s). I felt ill before I finished six pieces of nigiri,
which followed the soup and salad. When I came back, we had a few rolls
with the same types of fish, plus some scallops, and it happened to me
again, and to him for the first time. I'm fine now, so I'm not worried.
My only real concern was the salmon and the threat of a tapeworm.
But, from what I've been reading, I wouldn't really have any symptoms
for awhile.

Anyway, thank you for your input. Why does soup and salad make a
difference? That's what we usually have -- this was a typical dinner
for us...

Thanks,

Sandy

Because doctors have found that vegetables can carry e. coli. If produce is
imported from countries where the sanitation and fertilizers are different
from our own, you can end up getting sick from ingesting fecal matter.

In other words, it might have been the fish, the veggies, or pretty much
anything you ate that night, if a server or food prep person didn't wash up
properly or if the fish was kept too warm or if the the table wasn't wiped
down well or if the vegetables came from a section of Latin America or the
Caribbean where human and animal dung are used as fertilizer.

I wish I could be more comforting.

I had a few bouts similar to this after drinking hot green tea and
miso soup. I would doubt there was any "germs" in the tea, that stuff
was super heated. I burned my mouth once when I didn't notice the
waitress had filled my mug.

Anyway, someone here concluded that it may have been the hot liquids
that were the cause. I don't recall if I had salad on either occasion.

The symptoms you describe are identicle to what happens to me after I
ll the restaurant "NO MSG" or "Eeeah anji no moto" and they ignore me.
Sime elapsed time too. Are you MSG sensitive?

Probably wasn't from the sushi. In addition to the suggestions to
retrace your other culinary steps for the weekend, consider that some
people can be sensitive to overly fatty foods - if the salad had a lot
of mayo or oil, that could have triggered it. Also, some people can
be sensitive to having a hot or warm soup or beverage with their meal.
It may "push" things along. Especially if you had something with
fiber in it earlier in the day.

from the symptoms and the speed I would vote for three drops of Visine in
your water glass. PO the waitress?

Been gone for around 6 months now, good to see things haven't changed.
Why is it impossible to simply believe the poster? So many doubt the
story or tell them they must not have seen what they saw. As usual
this will keep people coming back for more (abuse). I think not.

Joe, it could be a million things that would have caused their illness.
No said they weren't ill, just that it could be something other than
sushi. Hey, a guy got shot out front of a sushi bar, think the sushi
killed him? Well it might have if he was running from the bill.

You could test this on yourself Dan. Please report back what you
find.

I found it lengthens life and increases strength. Please try it.

How did you verify the lengthen life part?

I found it made me irresistable to women, though I must admit, it was
only a small improvement. :-)

Might want to check out http://www.snopes.com/toxins/visine.asp on
that one. It may cause diarrhea, but it is apparently more
likely to cause illness or death (labored breathing, depressed nervous
system, and more nasty side effects. The diarrhea will be the least
of your
worries.)

I've never done it but have seen it done to plenty of poor tipping or rude
customers when I worked as a waiter and bartender. After reading your post
I guess we should be glad no one died.
