I’m one of those people. Got it randomly at age 33 or so. I did eat taco bell for the first time in a long time the night before, and I don’t think the 2 are unrelated. But yeah dude sepsis isn’t fun. Shaking uncontrollably involuntary is 100% 0/10. At 1st I was glad they cut that useless fucking time bomb out, but since then, my body is fucking terrible about managing bacterial infections. I’ve had strep, and a bunch of ear / sinus infections and taken antibiotics, but the shit will not go away. They say that they think the appendix is some kind of bacterial filter, and I’m inclined to agree. In hindsight, I wish I’d asked for an antibiotic based treatment plan since they caught it before my appendix burst, but hey, hindsight is 20/20.

Yeah I never had appendicitis but always found it odd there are so many who do all of a sudden. If this organ was so prone to failure all the time would it have not been gone ages ago?
