Do I have a food borne illness?


  • What are the symptoms of a food borne illness: Symptoms of a food borne illness are typically nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and sore throat with a fever.      
  • How long after eating will symptoms start: Typically, symptoms start between 2 and 12 hours.
  • How long can a food borne illness persist: A severe infection can persist for two weeks, but typically, most food borne illnesses clear up in two days.
  • What is the difference between a food borne illness, the “24-hour flu”, and “the flu”: Intestinal illnesses commonly referred to as “stomach flu” or the “24-hour flu” are actually caused by foodborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses and parasites) resulting in a foodborne illness. Influenza or “the flu” is primarily an illness of the respiratory system caused by influenza viruses that are spread from person-to-person through coughing or sneezing. If diarrheal symptoms do not occur with respiratory symptoms, a person may actually have a foodborne illness.
  • Have I ever had a food borne illness: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates over 76 million cases of food borne illness occur each year in the U.S. Most people do not go through their lives without having a food borne illness. Since symptoms can be subtle, sometimes people are not aware a food borne illness exists, which is why it is under-reported. Most people get more than one food borne illness per year.  
  • If symptoms persist sometimes for only a day, why should I be concerned: During vomiting, bacteria can spread via mist. Unclean hands after a diarrheal event can spread bacteria. Therefore, proper hygiene should be used when handling food, both in restaurants and at home.
