Dear Mr. Butler,
You attend a party given by a friend and the next day you are feeling a tad sick and suspect food poisoning. Do you phone the host to ask if anyone else got sick and risk insulting them that it was their food, or just keep silent and continue to take your Gravol/Imodium? Regards, W.
Dear W,
If your discomfort can be cured with Gravol/Imodium than I would absolutely keep it to myself as it really isn’t anything too serious.
However if you needed to see a doctor because it was a serious case of food poisoning, I would not hesitate to contact your friend so that the source can be determined.
Remember, before you eat anything on a summer buffet table, make sure it is fresh or else you are playing with fire.
