How Long Does It Actually Take to Get Food Poisoning From a Sketchy Meal? - Men's Health

You can't always blame last night's dinner.

When food poisoning hits, you basically need to camp out by the toilet. Stray too far, and, well, you might be sorry.

Food poisoning occurs when you eat contaminated food, which can result in a whole host of gastrointestinal symptoms.

"The signs and symptoms are usually abdominal cramps, nausea with or without vomiting, and diarrhea," says John Pandolfino, M.D., chief of gastroenterology and hepatology at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. This includes feeling weak and fatigued, and could also include fever and chills.
