WATCH: “My family has been accidentally poisoning ourselves for weeks"
This mysterious Monday illness has been lingering in the family...
An ongoing medical mystery has struck this family for about two months.
The weird thing is that every Monday one person in the family gets sick and this continues to rotate between the family members.
@kelsewhatelse took to TikTok to share this wild discovery.

As stated above, for about nine weeks this family had "The Monday sickness".
After days of back and forth trips to the ER, advice from doctors and staying alert, they could not pinpoint exactly what the issue was.
Kelse says: "We'd have 12 hours of fever followed by about 12 hours of stomach cramps or diarrhea."

Eventually, the family realised that the father had been using a specific type of peanut butter that had actually been recalled due to a salmonella contamination.
This sickness would only come on a Monday as the spread was used that Sunday by the father who had no idea that there was something wrong with it.
That's how this family continued to accidentally poison themselves for weeks.
