Ate a bad string cheese 2 days ago & have food poisoning. worse today. should i avoid hurling or let it happen and get whatever it is out? hydrating.

Just let it happen.: Just let whatever happens happens. You're not going to feel well for maybe a couple more days, but don't make yourself vomit as (a) it won't help and (b) you can give yourself a tear in your esophagus, which of course would not be good.
