How can you know it’s the fruit? Usually

The fruit was the only "new" thing I had in that 96 hour time-frame. Everything else I ate in that time-frame was fully cooked and stuff I have routinely eaten many times before with no problems at all.
How would it be fruit 48 hours later? Fruit is processed in your stomach rather quickly. I would assume it was something else. Maybe something you ate that day or at most the day prior.

Numerous pathogens that cause food poisoning actually have incubation periods that are around the range of 48 hours. To the best of my knowledge, many public health officials say it's often times not the most recent thing you ate (or even ate on that day) that caused the food poisoning but rather something that was eaten longer ago.
