Yes, we both had hot tea, and we both had Miso Soup. The salad was just
cucumber, crab, and the vinegar/sugar mix, and then the tuna/hamachi and
salmon nigiri(s). I felt ill before I finished six pieces of nigiri,
which followed the soup and salad. When I came back, we had a few rolls
with the same types of fish, plus some scallops, and it happened to me
again, and to him for the first time. I'm fine now, so I'm not worried.
My only real concern was the salmon and the threat of a tapeworm. But,
from what I've been reading, I wouldn't really have any symptoms for
awhile.





Anyway, thank you for your input. Why does soup and salad make a
difference? That's what we usually have -- this was a typical dinner
for us...

I had a few bouts similar to this after drinking hot green tea and
miso soup. I would doubt there was any "germs" in the tea, that stuff
was super heated. I burned my mouth once when I didn't notice the
waitress had filled my mug.

Anyway, someone here concluded that it may have been the hot liquids
that were the cause. I don't recall if I had salad on either occasion.


I've also become ill after drinking several cups of green tea. I
don't drink much caffeine and blamed it on having a lot of caffeine in
a short period of time. A cup doesn't bother me, but several did.
(And this was at home, when I was NOT eating, and the same brand from
the same package that didn't make me sick after 1 did after 3.)

I don't think it's the caffeine that does that. I am a regular coffee
drinker, about 3 cups a day all in the morning. My green tea experience
was at lunch, so if it were caffeine, I'd be having the shakes or something.

I think it's the temperature of the tea.
