Peanut butter recall!

Just checked mine, made by The Food Mill in Oakland, just peanuts and salt. I like Adams too

I'm sorry that you got sick . I hope you feel better soon.

I'm glad I went ahead and posted this too then. Hope you don't get sick. I'm not sure if I had the salmonella or just a stomach virus a couple weeks ago, but I'm going to report the illness just in case and find out if they want to test the peanut butter.
I had salmonella about 10 years ago and never wanted to be that sick again in my life, but that's very similar to how I felt the day I was sick here recently. Thing about it is we've eaten the peanut butter more than once and only got sick that one time so not too sure.
I hope the Silvers see this and check thier peanut butter possibly since Mr Silver was so sick the other day. I do know that the norovirus is going around too, but now you wonder how much might have actually have been salmonella?
I hope you don't get sick Pedal Wench. If you do depending on just how bad it hits you, you may just be able to ride it out like the stomach flu with clear fluids, tylenol for any fever. But the first time I had it (I wasn't as healthy as I am now even since I've been off the bike for several months with my back) I ended up in the ER on IV's. They wouldn't be able to tell for sure without taking (stool) samples and you usually don't find out for several weeks from the health department. Good luck.

Thanks, Mary. I sincerely hope that I'll be fine. I'm heading to Florida tomorrow for a 24-hour race, so I really can't be sick!

Good luck, BTW, I LOVE your avatar with your cavie (guinea pig) wearing a CD for a hat

Mary - are you completely over your tummy bug?

If not, go to the doctor and you'll probably be asked for a sample to have your gut bugs checked... salmonella can take a while to shake

Here's my experience of salmonella...

One of my boys contratced from our chickens when he was about three. He had white diarhea that was the consistency of water for the best part of a week, his "poo" didn't get back to a normal consistency for about 3 weeks. He lost so much weight and was listless for over a month. It was about 3 months before he started being his bouncy puppy self and gaining back the weight he'd lost. He was one very sick little boy. And there was nothing "they" could give us to "fix" it... just time..

One of the toughest things about being a parent is when your kids get sick when they are very young - you can't explain it will be ok, and they can't tell you hao they feel.

From my experience I don't think you had salmonella if you are completely over it - I am happy to be corrected but I don't think you can get it just "a little bit"... but if you are still at all squiffy, go get checked. Over here it is a notifiable disease and you have to stay away from work if you work in kitchens or with children til you are cleared.

Take care
