after near death from a pork taco from a food truck.

He started violent vomiting within 20 minutes of eating the pork taco. His doctor said if his body did not reject the toxin by the hard vomiting he could very well have died.

He did not have his usual healthy skin color look, he was drained from the vomiting episodes. His doctor has him on a baby food diet until his digestive system heals itself.
