I had food poisoning on a plane once, but the meal was before I boarded. I was puking so much and so often they moved people forward and me to the back. It was bumpier. By the time we landed I could barely walk and I was covered in hives. Six of the longest hours of my life.

Sounds like an allergic reaction to food with the hives …

Just by the description I would assume he ate too many/bad mussels or hummer.

Food poisoning usually takes longer than 6 hours and includes shitting more than vomiting.

No way. I've had food poisoning within only about two hours of eating on more than one occasion (once bad oysters, once bad eggs). The eggs especially had me promptly lying on the bathroom floor.

It was osso buco, from a restaurant I've ordered it from many times, I had assumed the hives were stress related, I was really retching, but to the other commenter's point, no poops.

Silly passengers, you have to subscribe to kitchen in the sky app to get fresh food! Must have been first time travelers.
