But I didn't mean to. Honestly!

 

Last week I made some lovely cauliflour and lentil soup. Yesterday I thought I would give the rest of it to the chickens as it was a bit past its sell by date. OH has been off work since last week, decorating and while I was at work he decided to have some soup.

 

When I got home, he looked a bit rough, having developed rather violent gastroenteritis. The soup seemed to be the culprit.

 

Boy do I feel guilty! I have tucked him up in bed with plenty of fluids. He is insisting on going in to work tomorrow, but having read the NHS website, I don't think that is such a good idea.

 

Does anyone know? Are people usually contagious if they have food poisioning?

The chooks had a lucky escape!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Oh dear . Hope he's feeling better now .

 

I gave my OH some chicken and sweetcorn soup that's been hanging around a while . I'll be watching him carefully .

[mostin]

just in case it wasn't your soup he really shouldn't return to work for 48 hours after the symptoms stop, so he doesn't pass it on to any of his colleagues in case it's a virus.

 

We have to work by this rule in the NHS so we don't have epidemics of stomach upsets amongst the staff

I know where Battlecrease is, we went to see it when we heard a film was being made about James Maybrick.

Doesn't look like the film was ever made though.

I had to look her up on the www ! Funny you should say that, I know I should have removed that fly paper from the soup!

[mostin]

Just looked her up as well. Fascinating story.

[Lesley]

I just came to see how many had come to say "would you do mine?"

[mostin]

No, mine would whinge too much if you poisoned him. It would have to be something quicker

[Egluntyne]

Dear me! Poor thing. I hope he is soon over it.

First thing that came into my head this morning when I read it Lesley !!

[Alis girls]

Yes just read about Flo Maybrick too, Has anyone ever read "Flowers in the Attic" i think based on true story in USA where else. Thechildren in this were slowly being poisoned by "Ooops, word censored!"nic on donuts I think it was. You hear much about "Ooops, word censored!"nic now. Hope OH is ok.

[Cooks]

I read the flowers in the attic series of books whe I was a kid

 

poor man I hope he feels better soon.

[Patricia W]

It could be that dreaded Norovirus and nothing to do with the soup. Nasty - very virulent for about 8 hours and then you feel like death.

 

I agree - 48 hours after the symptons have stopped is best. "Ooops, word censored!"ody will thank him for passing it on! We all had this in the autumn when my son and daughter- in- law brought it back from a trip to Vienna - I blame the plane .. Sorry Christian - I'm sure your planes are pristine !

[Egluntyne]

How is the patient today?

[clootie]

I was just wondering the same E !!

[Scramble]

Hope he's feeling better

[Janepie33]

He is much better today thanks. He managed a piece of toast for breakfast and some soup for lunch. (Not mine I hasten to add, it was from a tin!!).

 

So far so good. He says he will go back to work on Friday.

[Egluntyne]

That is a relief for you.

[clootie]

Glad to hear he's on the mend

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's good to hear . (Has he forgiven you yet ?)

[mostin]

Glad to hear he is on the mend, and that he's taking a couple of days off .
