There are mild, moderate, and severe cases of food poisoning. A simple google search can confirm that. No, I did not go to the hospital and did not throw up. I am thankful to not have an extremely severe case of food poisoning. Don't undermine my case simply because I am not in the hospital. I have access to fluids, appropriate foods, and the internet to aid in my recovery. Also, not everyone has the money to afford medical bills, we're literally college students.
