Toxic girl

Health food is bad for you. All I've had today is a mug of sage tea (caffeine-free drink) and a load of pumpkin seeds (supposedly healthy snack), but something has managed to make me violently ill. I suspect the pumpkin seeds, because I felt okay (well, tired, but that's normal) until I'd had a few handfuls of them... after which I felt drowsy, headachey, and extremely nauseous, until actually being sick.

Is it possible for things to make you sick that quickly? If not then it must have been the steak at the Mill last night.

I am now at home, where I can lie down & feel grotty in peace. This does however have the welcome side-effect that I can listen to acronym on CUR1350 - hence the nicely appropriate subject line, because he's just dedicated the track of that name to me.

Sounds more like the sage tea; it is a very, very powerful drug and usually is taken by the spoonful. Have you had it before?

The pumpkin seeds may well have had a tiny bit of Aspergillus or other mold on them, which would also give you a fairly instant reaction.

Hope you feel better soon; rest sounds like comepletely the right thing. Some people find flat Coca-Cola over ice in small sips an excellent remedy.

sage tea

Yeah, I've had lots of it before -- I really like it, can drink two or three mugs in a day quite happily. Probably not advisable really but it's never done me any harm before! This one didn't taste as nice but that was because I'd stored some other teabags in the same box, unidentified fruit tea which as far as I can tell from the taste was hibiscus & cardboard. (Had one of them yesterday, see, & thought I'd see if the sage was still okay today.)

Coke usually does seem to settle my stomach so I'm sipping that (it's not totally flat, but close). Seems to be helping, though I still feel grotty.
