What are food poisoning symptoms?

Food Poisoning Symptoms

Food poisoning symptoms can depend on a lot of factors

Food poisoning symptoms may range from mild to severe and can differ significantly depending of the contaminant, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The most common symptoms of food poisoning are:

After you consume a contaminated food or drink -- especially if it is a chemical contaminant -- you may show symptoms of poisoning immediately. With some biological contaminants, it may take hours or days before you develop symptoms of food poisoning. If you believe you are suffering from a foodborne illness, please report it to IWasPoisoned.com.

Common signs of food poisoning

Common signs of food poisoning are nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea. However, symptoms may differ among the different types of foodborne diseases. Symptoms can sometimes be severe and some foodborne illnesses can even be life-threatening. Anyone can get a foodborne illness, but people in these categories are more at risk of the severe or long-term impacts:

  • Pregnant women
  • Young children
  • Older adults
  • People with immune systems weakened from medical conditions, such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, or from receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Many people with food poisoning get better without medical treatment, but people with severe symptoms should see their doctor.

Complications From Food Poisoning

Many cases of food poisoning result in a mild illness that lasts a few hours or several days. However some people need to be hospitalized and/or have illnesses that result in long-term health problems (insert: https://www.foodsafety.gov/poisoning/effects) or even death. Infections transmitted by food can result in chronic arthritis, brain and nerve damage, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which causes kidney failure.

When to See a Doctor for Severe Food Poisoning

If you experience symptoms of food poisoning, such as diarrhea or vomiting, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, according to the CDC. See your doctor or healthcare provider if you have symptoms that are severe, including:

  • High fever (temperature over 101.5°F)
  • Blood in stools
  • Frequent vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down
  • Signs of dehydration, including a marked decrease in urination, a very dry mouth and throat, or feeling dizzy when standing up.
  • Diarrhea that lasts more than 3 days

Current Multistate Food Poisoning Outbreaks

Here is a list of current foodborne illness outbreaks.

When two or more people get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink, the event is called a foodborne or food poisoning outbreak. Reporting illnesses to your local health department helps them identify potential outbreaks of foodborne disease. Public health officials investigate outbreaks to control them, so more people do not get sick in the outbreak, and to learn how to prevent similar outbreaks from happening in the future.

We got hot chicken Wednesday night for dinner and my son ate one slider and I had 2. At 3 AM he had a horrible bout of diarrhea Which has continued and it's almost Saturday . I had his leftover slider for dinner Thursday and Friday morning... See More at 5 am I started having really bad stomach pains Followed by Over an hour bout of diarrhea. I almost passed out in the shower and could barely make it to bed and was so relieved to be able to sleep with how bad my stomach hurt and everything. I woke up around 11 and drank Some water and about 10 minutes later you're puked my brains out. I felt better afterwards but all day I've had really bad stomach pain a sour stomach and nausea. Googling our symptoms and the fact that we ate chicken makes me think it's salmonella. We have never been this sick we canceled our plans today we're not going to the movies we're not even leaving the house we feel so awful. We were gonna take a road trip to go to Bullwinkles for Spring break but we both feel so sick still . My poor son is going on 48 hours and he had to miss school Thursday. I'm so grossed out I don't want to go hot chicken ever again which is sad because we really love that place . We are also crushed that we won't be stopping by in-and-out tomorrow on the way Home . It's one of the 2 locations in Oregon. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain See Less
