To not eat food prepped in the sick bowl

[Homeiswherethedogis]

Just walked in on DH mixing the ingredients for our dinner in a bowl... Which has also been used as the kids sick bowl a couple times! Yes it's been cleaned since housing the sick but I still don't really want to eat tonight's meal.

I'm being told that's silly and to get over it.

AIBU?

Yes - eat the meal DH has made
No - that's gross don't eat

Buckets are much easier to empty six times an hour when they are all sick, BTW. Much more control on pouring and greater distance between hands and vomit.

Just a thought. 🤢

Oh God, I'll be heavily judged here then as I'm going to a pot luck lunch tomorrow and I've just whipped up the cream for the banoffee pie that I'm taking in our sick bowl and to make matters worse I noticed when tidying up that the cream I've used is a week out of date - but it was unopened and smelled totally a-ok! And the sick bowl has been washed several times since the pukey incident!

Make him a cup of tea with water from the toilet, as long as it's boiled he should have no problem

Nope wouldn't eat it. We have a separate sick bowl in a separate cupboard.

making mental note not to eat food prepared in anyone else's home...

@Octavon be careful mentioning utility rooms, I got called rich for not wanting to eat a meal.

(p.s please all take this is the light hearted manner it is meant)

@LiterallyOnFire 🤢 pass me the bucket

🙈😂I think that's more bad luck lunch

Yup...you might not eat out of your own family sick bowl but how many times have you eaten unknowingly out of someone else's household sick bowl 😆🤢🤮🥵😆

Totally...I've renamed it the "dodge a bullet" lunch...always been wary of these things after we all got food poisoning from someone's egg mayo sandwiches!

Thanks for joining in and sharing tonight everyone. It's certainly been eye-opening. I'm not sure I'll eat anything anyone else has made ever again but it's given me a giggle.

Are you? I'm a biologist by degree and worked in various labs and in medical research before i was a programmer in a high profile household name national health industry where my business was infectous disease. and I'd let my newborn lick a non permeable plastic surface if it had be shoved up a tramps bum if it had been bleached and through the dishwasher. The only reason I'd balk is knowing what had happened. Bacteria can't survive this. They need a substrate too. Prions maybe. Bacteria nope. Unless CJD made the kids sick it's biologically safe. But you can't bleach your brain so I understand the link of thinking about the sick bowl.

Ikea cheap plastic bins are your friend here OP ( for pukeing, not mixing salads in)

If you would dry your face with a towel that has previously dried your arse and then been through a wash and dry cycle then you are being unnecessarily vigilant regarding a bowl.

I feel like this is a good thread to remind people that some people wash toilet seats in their dishwasher

And goodnight

Toilet seats??

They take them off the toilet and put them in the dishwasher..?

It’s been washed and bacteria is not going to have survived on it. It’s fine.

We had a bright pink sick bowl once. Used it for salad too 😀

Then one day, the farrier tending to a horse in our stables had the top of his finger chopped off when a horses foot slammed down on his hand. The groom rushed in to the house and asked for a bowl and some ice to put the fingertip into. I grabbed the sick bowl and gave it to her. She drove him straight to hospital.

I never did get the sick bowl back. I was gutted! It was used for my 4 children's sick! I was quite attached to it in a weird way 😂😂

True story!

Ps after all that, they never did manage to re-attach his fingertip either!! 😌

@pearldiamond 😳😱😭
Funny isn't it, what you can feel emotionally attached to.
I have fond memories of the sick bowl of my childhood. It has associations of being cared for and made to feel better, loving attention and consideration for my needs (rare for me as a kid).
I can imagine if that bowl saw you through 4 children's poorly times, you would have strong associations of loving care also.

🤣🤣🤣

Why do so many people double up their kitchen bowls as vomit receptacles? 😩

We always used a bucket, it wouldn’t be a special sick bucket but would only be used for bucket jobs, not eating out of.

I’m sure nothing bad will happen if it’s properly cleaned, but it’s still pretty grim. I wouldn’t be puking in my kitchen utensils, the same way I don’t shit in them either 🤣🤮

The likelihood is it's absolutely fine, especially if it's something to be cooked as opposed to a salad for example but the image of it's previous use would probably prevent me from enjoying it 😬 and my subconscious would probably make me feel sick afterwards, in fact I feel a bit sick just imagining it - I'm poor btw too, just a bit squeamish about vomit 🤢.

I work in a school and never eat home made stuff the dc bring in, this thread has reminded me why 🤣

I was with you all the way until you said mop bucket as I now have images of germs spread all around the floor 😅. As for dick bowl, is that similar to a penis beaker ?

Wouldn't bother me at all. My sick bowl is a mixing bowl, it just goes back in the kitchen cupboard after being washed.
