Something just occured to me. Last Winter, I think it was mid or late January, I ate at my local McDonalds, and about an hour later I was VIOLENTLY sick to my stomach. I mean diareah, vomiting, high fever and total misery. I wonder if something was not right in the way that food I ate was prepared.

Hey Mike - haven't you ever heard of the "McGurgles"? (of course, there's an even cruder version which sounds more like what you had!)

Not a very pleasant experience - but I bet we've all had them at least once

Yes, I have heard of the "McGurggles." That's because fast food is very greasy by nature, and the stomach has to work harder to digest it. BUT, what I had last Winter was no simple case of the "McGurggles." I was so ill I could barely stand. I was throwing up, and running to the bathroom all the time, and I had a very high fever accompanied by chills. It took a total of 3 days to get over what I had, and the same ammount of time before I could eat anything.
