when it comes out both ends at the same time then you know you are in for a rough time.
Had that once before, and it was AWFUL. It was also the first time I was visiting my fiancé's aunt and uncle... all over their bathroom. ALL OVER.
Only other time I've had proper food poisoning has been after eating a dodgy burger from a van outside Rock City in Nottingham at the end of a gig.
I woke up the next morning with cold sweats and my head spinning.
Made it to the bedroom doorway and projectile vomited across the hall and into the bannister. Thankfully there were towels hanging there, so they stopped most of it, but some shot straight over and went all down the far wall where the stairs are.
After that happened, I staggered to the toilet and began violently upheaving everything in my guts, over and over again, until my innards and throat were ragged.
So I thought I'd best get some water. Stuck my head under the tap and began gulping it down, then immediately puking it back up.
It got to the point where I couldn't breathe, because the load of water in my stomach was being pushed back out with such spastic contractions of my gut and diaphragm that it was messing with my ability to breathe in rhythm -- and the water was flying out both my mouth AND nose.
I really did have a moment of total panic. "I'm going to die here."
Needless to say... no more dodgy van burgers.
