A Palm Bay fast food restaurant was recently shut down by the Florida Department of Health due to filthy conditions. Health officials said Wednesday that the Checkers on Babcock Street was closed due to “rodent activity.”

Feb 21 Bacon Garlic Burgers from Sonic Drive In Sick




On Wednesday my oldest and I went to a fast food drive up and each got a burger and some tots.  We got a chicken sandwich and fries for my youngest kiddo (knock on wood, youngest is... See More still asymptomatic) Within 45 or so minutes of eating my oldest and I felt queasy and rumbling in our stomachs. In about 11/2-2 hrs, my oldest puked at work and came home.  The first vomit was food/then green twice/and then bile color. Diarrhea accompanied. At 9:30, I took them to the local ER as they could not stop vomiting.  They were treated for acute vomiting/acute diarrhea.  They took urine and blood samples.  They gave them Zofran and pain meds and sent us home. Kiddo continued to vomit several more times and the next day was just diarrhea.  On Friday, I vomited and started non stop diarrhea. We have terrible gut pain and gas.  We drank Gatorade, stayed hydrated, ate crackers and applesauce when we were able and yesterday we thought we were getting better. No one had any symptoms. We had disinfected as we went along to try to ensure no spread to youngest kid.  This evening we are nauseated and I have the diarrhea back.  We both took Zofran.  We know we have something.  We ate nothing that day other than the burger meal.  We had an appt with primary care on Monday and are awaiting stool test results. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Other, Gas, Bile See Less

On Friday March 8th I had lunch from Memos in Auburn, Washington. I became sick within 5-6 hours of eating their carne asada meat combo. 12 hours of violent vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Because I threw up 6-10 times every 20-40 minutes I got severe dehydration and... See More exhaustion. I couldn’t keep any fluids down and contemplated going to the emergency room. Eventually I just held Gatorade in my mouth as long as I could and then would spit it out to get some electrolytes. After 12 hours the vomiting stopped but cramps, fever and pain don’t stop until about 24-30 hours later. I am now recovering from exhaustion and fatigue due to not having eaten in two days since becoming sick. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Vomiting, Dehydration, Nausea, Fatigue See Less

Great Value Broccoli florets. Two different times in one week, two separate steamable bags, both purchased at the same time., Purchased three bags of Great Value broccoli florettes from Walmart supercenter on Bells Ferry Road in Woodstock Georgia. Have consumed two of the three bags in the... See More last four days and got sick on both occasions. Did not realize it was the broccoli that made me sick the first time which is why I consumed it again the second time. But now, realizing it’s the only common denominator in both episodes, I will be throwing the third bag out. Ironically, the broccoli itself is actually good, and I purchased this brand because you actually get whole broccoli florettes as opposed to green giant, which fills the bag with mostly stems and Broccoli scraps. But it’s not worth getting sick over. Symptoms were extreme stomach cramping (some of the worst I’ve ever experienced) and diarrhea. The stomach cramps were so severe that the pain radiated to my testicles resulting in extreme discomfort, and multiple episodes of diarrhea and dehydration. The first episode which occurred 3/3/24 seemed to be milder in severity, lasting only 3 to 6 hours with less diarrhea and stomach pain. The second episode which occurred 3/6/24 was much more severe, and lasted about 12 hours. The product I purchased is actually shown in the thumbnail below on this very page ironically. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Cramps See Less

Stand Boucherie Trad has issued a recall for its ground beef product due to the presence of Listeria. The product was sold across France, including at E. LECLERC Pont-Sainte-Maxence.

The recalled product is Stand Boucherie Trad's Haché de Boeuf, sold in bulk at the stand. All batches... See More with a consumption date between 26/02/2024 and 01/03/2024 are included in the recall. The product was first sold on 26/02/2024 and last sold on 01/03/2024. The product is meant to be stored in the refrigerator.

The presence of Listeria was discovered during a routine analysis of the ground beef product. Listeria monocytogenes is the agent responsible for listeriosis, a serious infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium.

In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
