So...
Yesterday morning
My brother made eggs, and he realized they were two months expired. So, instead of eating them he decides to wake me up and say he made me them for breakfast. I eat them, and couldn’t taste a difference, because my nose was stuffed so bad that I couldn’t taste anything.
I’ve been having horrible shits every couple of hours, and feel slightly bad right now.
Is that bad? Two months expired... like will I probably get food poisoning?

You may or may not get something serious. Maybe just diarrhea, or you could get dysentery, ecoli, or other serious diseases.

Oh, and whatever bacteria was left after being cooked probably got in your system right away. So, you probably have it now since you said you have the shits.

Salmonella has an approximate 24-hour incubation period, but it could range from 12 hours to 72 hours. If you get really dehydrated from the diarr...
the dystin...
the drizzly shits, you might need to have fluids administered intravenously.
But eggs have a longer shelf life than they’d like to admit. When in doubt, float the uncooked egg in cool water. If it floats, it’s spoiled. If it sinks, eat it and like it!

Well your brother is a cunt, now, isn’t he?
What if you die because of it?
What a faggot, IMO.

Dysentery is different than diarrhea I found out while looking up how to spell it. It has large amounts of mucus or blood in it, and you can die from it; unlike diarrhea.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...
According to legend, McDonald’s puts about six people in the grave, each and every year. The cause? Salmonella-tainted eggs! Still, the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor, as millions of people eat eggs at McDonald’s with no ill effects, or at least they are able to recover.

Drink lots of fluid and eat chicken broth if you have it for the salts. If you have any money and you live by a Safeway store (it must be Safeway) they sell tropical fruit flavored generic tums that cure almost all tummy aches.
One time I ate hors d’ oeuvres at an evening party (it was a professional gathering). At about 2am I had a dream that I swallowed my pillow. I woke up with severe stomach craps followed by excessive vomiting and diarrhea.

Regardless of what caused it, if you are having diarrhea you should snag some Gatorade or some other sports drink that replaces electrolytes, esp potassium (NOT energy drink with caffeine/taurine, but sports drink that replaces electrolytes!)
Don’t eat a lot of stuff if you can help it until you start feeling better again. If you get really hungry and you’re still having diarrhea, then eat stuff that’s really bland like bread, noodles, crackers, etc.
I hope you start feeling better. Don’t eat rotten eggs! XD

You actually can die from diarrhea. It can completely dehydrate your body.

I had food poisoning once in Italy. I repressed the hours on the weird italian toilet, but I still do remember not being able to keep anything down at all. I remember eating a small piece of buttered toast and puking my guts out for twenty minutes because of it. It ’twas 2002, a simpler time, when the only thing that kept me from bordom was playing Super Mario Bros on my Game Boy Advance.
Drink lots of water and original Coke with the bubbles stirred out. Actually helps alot.

As everyone else has said, keep your fluids up, a bucket near by and make sure you are pretty close to the toilet.. your gonna have the squirts.

One of the leading causes of death in Africa is Diarrhea, due to the lack of clean water.

Eat some cheese and peanut butter.
That should slow things down a bit.
If not, get some of this:
