it was about 5 days after the first symptoms and i think it was too late to find out how i caught it.am better now thanksxxxx(:

Lisa, Pleased that you now have a result. personally i would not go to that Chinese again if it were me. Both chicken and prawns are very suspect when it comes to food poisening, and chicken is very easy to undercook. I can't believe they can't trace it, although maybe it was because the tests were done too long a time after you went down with it, and maybe nobody else reported being ill. A lot of people don't. I have separate chopping boards for meat ,veg and fish, you have to be so careful with cross contamination. Normally I think restaurants have to keep samples of the food they cook in the fridge for a couple of days but I don't know about chinese take aways. i am sure that the E health will have done a rapid inspection of the place though. I hope your daughter has not caught it from you. did you go on preparing the family food while you had it? Ann glos

thanks sheila.i can understand the environmental agencies point it would have been too hard to trace.thanks again.xxxx(:

Hope you feel better soon Lisa, this type of food poisoning is, unfortunately, quite common and hard to trace. A friend of mine had it and she was quite down and not herself for a couple of weeks - it does drain you, so take care!

christine might just stick with the steak!!!xxxx(:

Glad fish isn't on your anniversary night menu!..

my husband has that habit.maybe he was trying to poison me for the insurance!have you seen these chefs on tele.i have seen certain chefs chop up meat wipe their hands on the tea towel and then chop up veg.they should set a good example!xxxxx(:

thanks linda might have a curry tomorrow though.xxxxxx(:

Glad you are ok! Lindax

lorr i had prawns in my spring roll.you would have thought they would have investigated for if that is the source then it could happen to someone elsexxx(:

ooh spring rolls,love em

Lisa, hope you feel better very soon, know you must be feeling awful at the moment, but you have still been there for others, so feeling better hugs sent to you from me and mine :)xxxxx Bev

i had prawns in my spring roll but i can't see it being that as i would have been worse as fish poisoning is not nice to have.xxxx(:

excatly lisa they seem to be strict on us butchers with regard to raw and cooked meat(rightly so) but not on other things.my mum had a curry a few weeks ago and it was prawns which resulted in her being bad for over two weeks but again nothing can be proved. i wouldn't have another curry at least not from the same place--by the way let me know which one and i won't go there

Hi again Lisa, Glad to hear your feeling fit again. Take Care. ...Babz

karen i had chicken on that night in my curry.they have said they have investigated the chinese but this could happen anytime.they could have underccoked my meat.putting my health and others health at risk should be taken seriously as others could be effected aswell.maybe i should have another curry and see what happens!!xxx(:

glad to hear it lisa. as i've mentioned before we have a butchers shop and a few weeks ago our sat boy had food poisioning and although he was on holiday in dorset for 8 days before he got it we still had to be investigated to see if we were the source so it makes me really mad to see that they say they can't prove it. by the way we weren't the source it was a tuna sarnie, there i've had my moan for the day, karen

on the mend now karen.fighting fit lolxxxxxxxxx(:

baz they said it could have been undercooked meat.had a chinese the night before but like they said they cannot prove that was the source.there have been a number of cases in portsmouth though so the council have told mexxxx(:

hi lisa, at least you now know what is was,glad you're on the mend, karen
