I hate this fucking idiot story. The original YT video (actually made by the doctor that dealt with AJ, apparently) is really fucking clear but it's right at the end.

The B Cereus and even the cereulide would have made him sick, but the cause was that the guy DRANK A WHOLE BOTTLE of PEPTO-BISMOL, which contains a hepatotoxic dose of, basically, aspirin, which added to the bacteria and the cereulide was like kicking a wounded man off a cliff.

So the moral of the story isn't even "don't eat old unrefrigerated pasta", which is good advice, but rather don't drink a whole bottle of pepto-bismol. For some reason every secondhand analysis of this story misses this detail and gets it wrong, and I've seen it come up enough times now for it to really piss me off. Trust some Fox News idiot not to be able to watch a 14 minute youtube video all the way through before breathlessly mis-summarising the video.
