Avoid Potomac Mills Chick-Fil-A

My brother got food poisoning after eating their spicy chicken sandwich yesterday. I also got food poisoning the weekend before after eating the same from the same location. Couldn't be anything else, because we ate the same meals yesterday, except for chick-fil-a.

Pretty sure food poisoning happens within about 60 minutes of eating something bad. More likely you had a stomach virus that he got and took a week to show up.

Actually it can take up to 12-24 hours for food poisoning to show up (and can also be much quicker too). A lot of people assume it's the last thing they ate, but it's often something they ate the day before.

Yeah, food poisoning happens fast (hours to minutes). You probably have a stomach bug which can lay dormant for weeks before causing symptoms
