A member asked:
Can food poisoning affect one person and not another? my sister and i ate the same dish but she's sick and i'm fine.

Most likely it isn't: Food poisoning. Rather i suspect she caught a stomach virus & started having symptoms when you had dinner. Hopefully you practice good handwashing & didn't do anything to acquire it (although individual immunity to viruses can vary).
