Don't know if anyone is reporting their poisoning to their Dunkin's managers, but as it was the only thing I ate the day before coming down with the symptoms, which have now lasted two weeks, I believe the store in Marlborough by the Home Depot was the culprit--even though it was a coolatta and a coffee with cream that I drank.
