    Ahh that makes sense. I had/have never experienced such rapid onset food poisoning, it usually takes a bit. Thanks!

      Yep, salmonella usually takes several hours, but Staph can hit you in minutes. If it was within seconds, it may have been a food allergy, but that sort of thing is hard to guess at unless you can get an ingredient list or have an allergy workup done.

        Holy shit staph hummus.

        Yeah, I thought it was an allergy thing because there were lots of allergic reaction symptoms (I forgot to mention tingling of the tongue) but I've been able to eat hummus since then with no similar reaction. Maybe it was one particular unique ingredient they added, but it probably was food poisoning.
