The diarrhea continued into the day as I tried to recover with rest and rehydration. I also ran a low-grade fever; I'm normally at 98.0F but I had a 100.2F temperature when I took it about 24 hours after eating the meal. I'm still having issues keeping my liquid food down and could only consume 400 calories on Apr 3.

He had the stomach cramps and diarrhea starting at 0400 and now he's also throwing up. We got smart after my own sickness that now we have a bucket in front of the toilet. A quick search on the type of food poisoning shows that salmonella symptoms can take effect anytime between 6 hours to 6 days after infection.
