What everyday home foods can cause food poisoning?

---

Could you please give me a list of what food and how it gets rotten and can cause me food poisoning?? I think I ate something bad cuz my stomach doesn't feel too good..

I think expired bread is one of the reasons my stomach is churning.. Please help!?

Should I go to the doctors?? How many days will I not be able to go to work then?
You may have ate bread that had mold on it, if so, you won't feel well for a couple of days, but not as bad as food poisoning. Usually bad food poisoning comes from meat that has been left out of the fridge to long, has expired, has come into contact with something that has bacteria on it, like a dirty counter, or was not cooked properly. If you have bad food poisoning, your stomach will experience excruciating pains, you will feel faint and be sick to your stomach a lot. You might just have a touch of stomach flu, it is flu season.  (+ info)

How long after eating can food poisoning symptoms start?

---

I ate Sushi for lunch, after about an hour, and still now (about two hours since eating) I'm getting waves of nausea that come and go every 10-20 minutes that last about a minute or two, plus a sort of constant sick feeling or a mild stomach and lower stomach pain and cramping (Not sure if this is what a stomach cramp feels like). I've never had a problem with sushi before but this could have been left out too long or something, but now I'm sitting at work and wondering if it's going to get worse...

My question is how long after eating can food poisoning symptoms start? It was only an hour until I started feeling a bit cruddy and within an additional half hour, I started getting the above symptoms. Could food poisoning come on that fast? (I might want to call the cafeteria staff and let them know that there might be a problem with they're sushi today or something).

Any help (preferably with sources for something like this...) would be great, thanks a lot guys.
Each person is different in their reactions and timing. Hope this helps you.

Food poisoning is a general term that refers to gastrointestinal illnesses (usually diarrhea and/or vomiting) caused by food that is contaminated with bacteria, parasites, viruses, or toxic substances. The actual cause of most individual episodes of food poisoning, however, never is pursued (e.g., a culture is not done) since most episodes are mild or moderate in severity and are over in a few hours to a few days. In fact, the diagnosis of food poisoning usually is made only presumptively, based on the patient's symptoms and the circumstances. Even in outbreaks of suspected food poisoning that involve many people, when careful studies are done, a specific cause is found no more than half of the time.

Bacteria are the cause of most outbreaks of food poisoning for which a specific cause is determined. Bacteria cause food poisoning in three ways. After reaching the intestines, they may multiply and produce toxic substances that enter the intestine and cause diarrhea and/or vomiting without damaging the intestine itself. The bacteria also may multiply within the intestines and produce toxic substances that damage the lining of the intestine or they may invade and damage the intestine directly. Finally, some bacteria produce toxic substances that cause diarrhea and/or vomiting in the food before it is eaten. These bacteria do not need to multiply within the intestines, and the toxic substances they produce do not damage the intestine.

To know with certainty that a bacterium is causing food poisoning, the bacterium must be cultured, usually from stool and rarely from vomitus. If the food suspected of causing the poisoning still is available, the food can be cultured. Identification of the causative bacterium may require a determination of the bacterial subtype since not all bacteria of one type, e.g., E. coli, cause illness. In some cases, the bacteria isolated from the culture may be tested to see if they produce toxic substances. In food poisoning caused by toxic substances formed by bacteria in food before the food is ingested, e.g., staphylococcal food poisoning, the toxic substance can be sought in the food, stool, or vomitus. The identification of toxic substances, however, is complex and is not done by most bacteriology laboratories.  (+ info)

How long does it take for food poisoning to show it's ugly face?

Someone please accurately settle this debate once and for all:
how long does it take to get symptoms of food poisoning after you have eaten something bad? Our company hosted a Christmas dinner where they reheated frozen beef tamales twice. Of course, I did not know of this until after the fact. Now everyone is worried. We all ate at 12:30 pm. When will we know?
Few hours. Best the luck to you. If you didnt get it yet, that doesnt mean you got it, wait tomorrow morning when you wake up, if you dont have it then your fine. Just because they ere reheated frozen beef tamales twice doesnt mean its food poisioning, the food poisioning happens by food comtainmentation, cross-comtainmentation or comtainmentation at slaughter  (+ info)

How can i get rid of food poisoning?

---

This is my first time having food poisoning. I got it from Panda Express. What are some ways to get rid of it? PLEASE HELP!
You are just going to have to vomit and poop it out. That's why you are vomiting and pooping---your body is trying to rid itself of the bad food. When you can keep some fluids down, make sure it's Gatorade. You'll need to get re-hydrated again.

But if you have a high fever with abdominal pain, you need to see your doctor----that's not food poisoning.  (+ info)

What are some of the best ways to cure food poisoning?

My little brother is 11 years old, and he got what we suspect to be food poisoning. It's been going on for 5 days now, he can't eat anything because it makes him throw up, and he hasn't been going to the bathroom for a number 2 in a while, but when he vomits, all that comes up is stomach acid. Do you know of any ways to help him get better? And is this actually food poisoning? We believe it was caused by eating Maple Leaf bologna. Maple Leaf has just recalled more products due to another chance of listeria.

What type of food poisoning do you get from rotten eggs?

---

I'm not talking about salmonella. What kind of food poisoning would a person get from eating a rotten egg that didn't have salmonella? Or would they be fine?
Have you ever smelt a rotten egg!!!!!? If you had, you would know there is no way you or anyone else could eat one. So you could not catch anything from one.

How long should food poisoning usually last?

---

How long does food poisoning usually last? Is there any way to relieve this ? I have had nausea and belly cramping for 7 days with no signs of relief. What are symptoms any of you had during food poisoning? Just trying to compare. Help!
I had salmonella a few years back. I had severe cramping and diarrhea for 7 days also. it sux, i kno. There are drugs that your doctor can precribe to help with the symptoms a little. Unfortunately, the only way to get over this is for the toxin to totally leave your body. Everyone is different, this can take 24 hours to 10 days. 7 is pretty normal. You should be about through it! Good luck.  (+ info)

How long does food poisoning last and is there a way to get rid of it quicker?

Ive had food poisoning since Friday night Ive been sleeping all day today and Drinking plenty of fluids im not vomiting anymore but i still have a high fever and i am still getting abdominal cramps im also very weak does anyone know any home remedies to stop food poisoning and the weakness
If you've got a fever, then you have an infection, not food poisoning.
If you have a high fever and abdominal pain (not just the occasional cramp) you should see a doctor or go to the emergency room, because you might have appendicitis. Appendicitis doesn't get better on it's own, it gets worse, so don't ignore it.  (+ info)

What are the risks of Food Poisoning for Fried Rice & Eggs that Were Left Out?

---

I ate fried rice with eggs that had been sitting out for a little less than a day (both cooked of course). They were in a tightly sealed container, but left unrefrigerated during this time. What is the likelihood and risks of food poisoning from this food?

Thanks.
Additionally, are there any measures I could take considering I have already eaten this food? Thanks.
