Crazy story on dinner leftovers

I'm guessing if leftovers did that there was an issue with it while it was still fresh. Unless they let it sit out for like 6 hours before refrigerating.
 
Sounds like the kid ate leftovers that had been sitting out for a long period of time. The important thing here is to make sure you properly handle your food and get it in to the refrigerator within a proper time.
 
Something isn’t right here. Many mornings in a still drunken stupor at my apartment off Mortensen, I ate leftover Chinese for breakfast thatI forgot I ordered the night before that sat on the counter all night. I still have all my limbs.

Per the last paragraph of the story:

The medical team learned that although the Massachusetts student had received a first dose of the meningococcal vaccine, he never received the recommended booster. His roommate also ate the leftover food and vomited but didn't have life-threatening reactions.

After watching that video, it appears the stuff was bad when his room mate originally got it. Why didn't he throw that **** away??

I know Home Team would never do this to me.

When I was at ISU there was an international student who got very sick (and maybe died?) after eating some unrefrigerated leftover potato pancakes.

Late 90s or early 2000s, yeah? I'd heard it was stuff that he'd had in the fridge for three weeks, but I remember it. He got botulism, and I want to say he passed away. It was literally that when I stopped eating leftovers willingly.

Got a friend that had a roommate once that made some soup in a crockpot then just left it in there instead of putting it in the fridge after he turned off the crockpot then apparently kept re-heating it when he had it later in the week. Eventually he got sick and puked his guts out one night. He was just dumbfounded how he didn't know that you have to put that in the fridge after you are done eating it. There's more to the story but you'd have to know the person for it to be funny.

We try to use leftovers within 3 days of making it. I may stretch it a day or 2 longer depending on what it is but my wife basically won't touch it if it's been in the fridge longer than 3 days. I think most medical articles says 3-4 days then you risk food poisoning. The article above doesn't state how long the leftovers were kept so maybe it was something that had been in there awhile?

Probably the last time I was as sick as I can remember was about 15 years ago when I got some take out from a Chinese place I had not eaten at before. Within hours of eating I was basically in the bathroom all night either throwing up on the toilet. Thought it was the food but found out my girlfriend was also home sick that morning with the same thing and we found out that one of her nephews we had just seen a couple days earlier when visiting has just been sick a day or 2 before that with similar symptoms and his parents fessed up after hearing we were sick that they didn't tell us all because they thought he was in the clear when they traveled to visit the family. Was glad to know it was probably not the Chinese food but as bad as I felt for about 12 hours or so it did take me awhile before I ate Chinese food again.
