Drank some bad tomato juice and became quite ill. Now losing my hair - is there a connection ?

Nearly a year ago I drank some very bad tasting tomato juice on holiday - did not drink it all but a couple of hours later became very ill, vomiting, stomach cramps and shivering badly. Felt poorly for a couple of days. About 2/3 months later started noticing hair shedding. Could there be a connection to this food poisoning ? Would like to hear from anyone who may know.Drank some bad tomato juice and became quite ill. Now losing my hair - is there a connection ?
I really don't think it's from the tomato juice, but you should talk to you doctor. My aunt got Alopecia at just 19 and lost most of her hair. The doctor was able to cure her and today she is fine, but you need to go to a doctor. Many things can cause hair loss including stress.

Most food poisoning takes 12-24 hours to start showing symptoms, unless it was infected with the staph virus. It would be unlikely that you got staph from tomato juice, but not impossible.





My guess is that the tomato juice was just what you thought made you sick, but not the actual source. As a chef, I have had patrons return very shortly after a meal to say that the food had made them ill. With a little digging, both my establishment and the place they had been earlier would always get a prompt and thorough inspection, and my place was ALWAYS clean. (Consistently scoring 97-98%)





As for hair loss, I doubt that relationship completely. Are you stressed out? On medication? Those things will do it.
dont listen to the dumb chick who said her aunt got cured from alopecia. there is no cure for alopecia, i should know im a hairstylist and i had to take medical classes about skin, scalp, and hair diseases.





your hair loss isnt related to the tomato juice, its too long after the fact. it could be that you are stressed out. if you dyed your hair recently that could be it to. if it isnt either of those or if you are losing a lot of hair and are seeing bald spots go to your doctor.
It's a good thing that you came to a bunch of strangers on a message board, as opposed to a qualified physician; physician don't know jack!
