Well, I ate some pie, and went to bed. I'm exactly not sure how long it was, no longer than three, maybe four hours, I woke up and felt absolutely horrible. Fever and cramping, and shortly after awakening, I attempted to make a mad dash for the bathroom (I say attempted, because I couldn't move very quickly.)
From there, it was just...horrible. I had to keep a trashcan in front of me, and I couldn't leave the immediate vicinity. I ended up curling up on the bathmat between bouts. It lasted... hmmm... pretty much all day, although the severity lessened towards late afternoon/early evening.
My mom was the one who made the connection. I might have been thinking "food poisoning" in the back of my mind, but honestly, I was too miserable to do much analysis. The first thing she asked when she called (we lived in different states at the time) was "what was the last thing you ate?"
So, yeah... not good times at all. Pecan pie used to be my favorite, and I haven't touched it since.
But to get back to happy thoughts... cookie dough has never, ever made me sick. Yay cookie dough!
