A multiplicity of idiocy

<p>I'm not sure who is the bigger idiot, myself or themselves... Certainly I was idiotic to purchase a take away portion of cold mushroom salad... I must have been off my head. I certainly spent the next 24hrs on 'the Head'.</p> <p>And I'm not talking about a grumbly tummy - at one stage I seriously thought I would need an intravenous drip to keep me going. Having traveled to many parts of the world where food hygine is considered an optional extra, I've developed the constitution of a junkyard dog, but this was a different order of magnitude entirely.</p> <p>I honestly didn't think it was possible for the human body to expel so much fluid, through so many orifices, in such a short space of time.</p> <p>But what were they thinking of? Fry mushrooms, drizzle them with oil so they still look fresh, allow to cool, display in an open container under artificial light, leave for an indeterminate amount of time and cross your fingers. I'm not prone to exaggeration, so please believe me when I say that I honestly think that if a poorly, elderly person had what I had, they'd be in hospital, or worse...</p>
