Food Poisoning? Or Lurgy?

I started to feel a bit "off" around 6:30 last night. By 10pm, my body had finished ridding itself off it's entire contents and returned to normal temperature after being so cold I needed 4 blankets on top of my quilt and fluffy socks, and by around 2am I was able to start getting a few snatches of sleep. This morning, I'm all better.

Was it food poisoning or a 12-hour bug? There are two things I ate yesterday that the rest of my family didn't. Cheese and store-made apple pie. I have some of both left. Do I toss these out, take them for testing somewhere or what? Or wait and see if the rest of the family gets it without eating these foods and if they do assume the food's OK?

Looking at this, I'm thinking food poisoning and suspecting the cheese (packaged sliced provolone). It was a new pack I opened and I ate it around 11:30am. The (fresh from the store) apple pie was around 2pm.

Whilst 12 hours doesn't seem like long for a lurgy, the link suggestd food poisoning takes a couple of days too. I am rarely ever ill and recover much faster than the rest of the family if I do get something. I have no sniffles or anything, though.

What do you reckon -food poisoning or lurgy? And if the former, should I try to report it somehow?
