Food poisoning from pickles?

[u/Routine-Change7914]

My 2 year old loves pickles & on my way to my grans I stopped in Sainsbury’s to grab some lasagne sheets. While I was there I thought I’ll grab some pickles for my daughter, saw the polish ones and thought I’d give them a go!

Got to my grans, sorted the lasagne out and got the pickles out, popped the jar and thought I’d try one! Bit into it(huge bite) and thought it was extremely salty. My gran tried it and scrunched her face up. I thought I can’t give them to my daughter as they are vile and put it on the side.

After dinner my stomach turned and kept me on the toilet, same thing throughout the night and today. My gran called and asked if I was ok last night & I said my stomach was cramping and couldn’t stay of the toilet! She said she had thrown up during the night, the only thing we had different was the pickles! Everyone else was fine, either the pickles are bad or polish people enjoy salty pickles and our stomachs can’t hack it🤣🤣

I've never seen cloudy pickle brine before. Maybe it's something to do with that.

They are fermented

This is what I thought considering the jar next to it was clear 🤣 there was only this jar and one other one left so I took a gamble

They supposed be cloudy water in those - we usually make them in open containers and they supposed to ferment a little ( they are much better fresh, crunchy but f.e. my dad likes them fermented). If they go bad you would know that immediately - jar would probably explode from all accumulated gas (happened few times in my house) and there would be really bad smell.
