    Salmonella. Salmonella, man.

    Me and my Mom went to this restaurant that serves really good "homemade" style food. It was delicious, I had a quiche and then a dessert that had tons of meringue in it (my mom had the same).

    Turns out the eggs they used weren't cleaned properly, and worse, their workers weren't washing their hands either... So, yeah. The next day my mother woke up with extremely high fever and diarrhea/vomit and could barely move... I woke up normally, took a shower and did everything normally until I noticed that she was sick. Soon after that it hit me... It hit me really hard. I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I start feeling ill, nausea, and whatnot, and not five minutes pass and I'm exactly like my mom. The day went by and we were basically corpses laying in bed; we didn't move, we didn't want to eat or talk, we just wanted to stay there and wait it out (not like we had the energy to move anyway)... But the next day it was so bad (we were zombies at that point) that my father had to take us both to the hospital in a hurry.

    We had to stay in the hospital for a little OVER A WEEK. We had been the worst case of salmonella in my country and the ministry of health was calling us to make sure they had the proper testimonies to close the restaurant (which they did).

    It was terrible. It was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life; my energy was sapped out and I literally had what I called pesto diarrhea (green liquid) even after I left the hospital. Before I got sick I weighed about 74 Kg and when I left the hospital I weighed 58 Kg... At that point I was literally a walking corpse.

    So, yeah. Always make sure you eat at a safe place, and for the love of gosh dang, DON'T wish salmonella on anyone! It's the worst and most painful sickness I've ever experienced.
