Boy did I get sick!

[shadewolf]

Wow I ate a small amount of almonds on the weekend and OMG I got -so- sick! I started feeling really queasy about 5 minutes after I ate them then it went downhill from there. The really bad part is we were on a road trip at the time and we had to pull over for me to throw up. yuk. It was so violent I'd lost everything i'd eaten that afternoon, and i felt feverish and dizzy for the next day and a half and had a nasty headache. i'm not sure if i'm now allergic to them, or if they were bad, or if my system just can't handle them anymore or all 3. I was having a real hard time eating and drinking anything after that, but i feel better now

I hope you're feeling better now.

Put the almonds away for now. If you want to try out some later, eat 1 or 2 almonds and see what happens.

Sounds to me like you may have developed an allergy. I have a severe allergy to peanuts and when I accidentally get one, I start to get dizzy and throw up immediately.

On the other hand, I've noticed, also, that food I could eat before (like milk, for instance) my body just does not do well with anymore and I feel almost ... foggy.... hard to explain.

almonds can become contaminated by molds during the processing so it might be that but you should avoid them for now and maybe later test again with new ones. Check and see if your product was recalled as a yr ago all the Costco Almonds in a batch were recalled because of this contanination.

I am okay with almonds. Not a lot though. Sounds like an allergy to me also or some type of contaminant on the almonds.
