Husband and toddler have eaten out of date sushi

[Sailawaygirl]

Just in a bit of a panic as DH has just called me to say that he has accidentally eaten and given our toddler out of date sushie ( tesco meal deal pack). Use by was the 17/2 !
He said there was no obvious mold or bad taste.
I'm not normally a panicky person but this is so high risk with rice! It's been in his car for the weekend so not like its been in the fridge.
He bought some fresh today but didn't realise there was an old packet from last week!
Is there any I can do. Should I call nhs 111?

I had such bad food poisoning after eating supermarket sushi (straight from the shop) I have no idea what was wrong with it but it made me so ill. I’ve never touched it since, I really hope your toddler escapes it

Activated charcoal??? The mind fucking boggles 🤣🤣🤣

In the case of bacillus cereus - the first 6 hours is relevant. If you get past that time, then you're more likely to get a milder form (diarrhoea type). I would breathe a massive sigh of relief past 6 hours, but it doesn't mean they won't still become unwell.

What is ‘Nurse on Call’?

I’m assuming its like 111 but in another country?

What is Sauerkraut? Pickled German? Sour German?

How did he not smell it?

I know they use that for dogs, but I think it needs to be used swiftly to have a chance to bind to it.

I couldn't believe the obesity crisis swipe when what we are worrying about is food poisoning. Not really living in the moment ...

Hoping they have dodged a bullet and are fine, in sure you'll know tomorrow if they aren't

Lots of water x

Last week DS2 had an elderly patient, with a broken hip, on the back of an ambulance for over 4hrs. He couldn’t get them off to get them xrayed, or made more comfortable because there was no where to put them. People are already turning up to A&E for ridiculous reasons, like one person who brought their child in with a fecking verruca, so they don’t need people coming in just in case their child gets sick, too.

I swear to god common sense has gone missing in this country.

I agree with this. Ride it out, if they feel Ill or sick, treat it then, don't try and fix it now with fermented stuff!

How are they doing?

??

Fair.
Nobody at the funeral was infected and ailed, I'd have known
My grandmother was one of very few advocates for me within an abusive childhood.
I was absolutely not going to not turn up for her funeral, disregarding the verbal abuse I'd have suffered had I not.

Those in glass houses should not throw stones.

How are they doing OP? Any signs of anything bad?

OP I’ve only read your messages.

Until I was much older I didn’t know that you’re supposed to throw away rice after 2 days. I’m Chinese and cooked it in vast quantities and ate it up to 4-5 days in the fridge. My mum never told me otherwise so presumably as a child we kept it for more than 2 days.

I’m careful now but it’s never made me ill. Hope your toddler will be fine.

To manage hydration maybe. If they are vomiting a lot they could need a drip put in.

Lots of info is available online snd there's absolutely no harm in calling for medical advice. Why guess?

Is food poisoning dangerous for toddlers?

"Yes, food poisoning is dangerous for toddlers (age 5 and under)
because their developing immune systems cannot fight bacteria as well as adults, and they dehydrate rapidly. While most recover quickly, severe cases can cause serious complications like hemolytic uremic syndrome (kidney failure)."

"Symptoms: Look for fever, nausea, belly pain, vomiting, and diarrhea."

What if my toddler ate old sushi?

"If your toddler ate old sushi,
watch for symptoms of food poisoning like vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, or fever over the next 1–5 days. Because young children are at higher risk for dehydration and severe reactions, monitor them closely and contact a pediatrician if symptoms are severe or persistent."

• "Watch for Symptoms: Look for nausea, diarrhea, belly pain, fever, or excessive irritability (which can signal pain in young children).
• Watch for Red Flags: Call a doctor immediately if your child has a fever over 101∘F / 38.3∘C

vomiting for more than 12 hours, severe, constant stomach pain, or signs of severe dehydration (fewer wet diapers, no tears. Lethargy

• Timeframe: Symptoms can appear 4 hours to 24 hours later, but sometimes take up to 3 days to develop

Excuse the wonky formatting.
Also, just phone you local medical advice line. Don't take chances with children, especially young ones.

This is the most middle class post Ive ever seen.

What's middle class about a mum worried her young child could get food poisoning?

He sounds dangerous and a complete idiot. He is not a responsible person.

A mum worried her son will get food poisoning is not "middle-class".

A mum and dad, plus a bunch of hysterical posters, urging them to "call 111" or "go to A&E" when there have been zero symptoms and no indication of whether or not there will be any is not middle-class either, it's just ridiculous.

So, say his car is quite messy?

Fermented cabbage.
