She Couldn’t Figure Out Why She And Her Family Were Getting Sick, And It Turns Out Recalled Peanut Butter Was To Blame

Now just experiencing that for one day, sounds awful. But to go through that cycle for 9 weeks seems completely ridiculous.

If it were me I would be checking to see if there was something new introduced into the household on the weekends that isn’t normally there. Or if someone that came to the house had been sick and hadn’t realized it.

The most interesting thing was that it was only the mom, dad, and older son getting sick. The baby wasn’t getting sick at all. So it most likely wasn’t something that was environmental.

They cleaned the entire house, avoided going out, and didn’t invite anyone to their house for weeks. Thinking that it was something outside of the house.

For 2 months they didn’t see any of their friends or family, because they thought they were going to get sick. Her son missed school because of this mysterious sickness.

On an emergency visit to the hospital, she asked the doctor if they had heard of anything like what was happening to her family.

He said that he hadn’t heard anything like that. Then his facial expression changed. “The peanut butter!” he exclaimed.

“No, it can’t be that. I saw the recall. I went and I checked our big thing of peanut butter. We were fine,” she continued.

She goes home and her husband asked, “Well, what about the little peanut butter cups?”

“What little peanut butter?” she asked. Apparently, there were little peanut butter cups in the back of the pantry.

She hadn’t known about these little cups, because when she uses peanut butter it’s from the big container.
