Food Poisoning?
My husband was feeling totally fine like 10 minutes ago and all of a sudden started throwing up out of nowhere. He said he ate a tamale and some leftover 7 layer bean dip from yesterday. The problem was the bean dip was supposed to be thrown away because it sat out all day yesterday at my work's christmas party. Instead, when I brought it home last night, he put it in the fridge thinking it was ok I guess. He didnt know that and he had a little bit of it. Could he have gotten food poisoning? And if so, what do we do? I've never had it before.

Have him try to relax and don't eat anything. Lot's of liquids though. He will keep throwing up till it is out of his system. Eating just gives the bacteria something to grow in. He will get dehydrated if he doesn't get enough to drink though. Have him drink little sips at a time and not things that are very sugary. That sucks, good luck. Oh and if he isn't over it in 48 hours or has blood in his stool or vomit get him to the doctor immediately. This link might help. http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/676/main.html
