Do I have salmonella poisoning?!
Question: Do I have salmonella poisoning?
Ok, so yesterday I was making chocolate cupcakes and the chocolate mix(which had raw eggs in it) kept getting all over my hands. At first, I was like omg I need to wash my hands. Then it got all over my hands again, and I was like, come on what's the chances of me getting salmonella? So after i ate the uncooked mix and a cupcake, I was still hungry so I ate a lot of pretzels and a cup of orange juice. After that I went to bed at 12 at night and woke up at 11am then i threw up and it was all pretzels. I threw up 3 times after that. I went back to bed and I just woke up now(which is 7:40pm. I feel sooo weak like I can't even stand i'll just fall down. And I have such a bad headache. I did'nt eat or drink anything today. What should I do?
Answers:
You should see a doctor. I wouldn't automatically think it's the eggs. Eggs are pasteurized. The chance of picking up Salmonella from them is pretty low. It may just be a coincidence; there are a lot of things going around right now. But if you are that sick, definitely see a doctor. And if you can't eat, at least drink something. Water, Gatorade, whatever you can. You don't want to dehydrate.
