Hm, generally food poisoning is supposed to make you sick for days, like 10 days, according to my microbiologist friend. (At least, that's what happened to her - and she took in the stuff to her lab, identified the contaminant, and reported the restaurant to the health department! She was out of work for two weeks, throwing up violently for at least a week.) I don't know, honestly, because I don't ever go to the doctor for bugs like this - I just assume they'll pass when they pass (I've never had a stomach bug last longer than three days).

It was passed on from nephew to nephew to brother-in-law to sister to other sister to mom to me, so I'm fairly certain it was some kind of bug, flu or otherwise. I'm just thankful it was only 24 hours, because man, it was awful (and also I never get sick, so I am a horrible sick person to be around when it finally catches up to me).

I hope your holiday was better than mine!
