Can you show symptoms of food poisening in less than an hour?

Q: Yesterday I started my day as usual. Made the kids some pancakes and bacon. They didn’t eat the bacon but I did. The bacon had been in the fridge in a sealed bag for about 8 days. Didn’t think about that before I cooked it. I then had some coffee with some half and half that I opened the day before. The sale by date is Oct 2007. I think it’s fine though my husband says it tastes nasty but not spoiled. Anyway, about an hour after breakfast I started getting dizzy and feeling queasy. After about two hours I was puking. By the third hour I couldn’t stand without heaving. I didn’t feel better until about 4:30 in the afternoon. Still a tiny bit dizzy and quesy, but much better than yesterday. Could it have been food poisening?

A: Actually, a LOT of people (so far, everyone who’s answered you) totally misunderstand how food poisoning works.The kind of vomiting you have described would NOT be caused by food you ingested less than an hour prior.There are fast acting poisons that can make you vomit quickly, but these are chemical poisons, like if someone dumped pesticides on your food or something ot that effect.Food spoilages take at least 2 hours to kick in with vomiting, but it’s more common to have them start 4 to 6 hours later. Given your time line? I’d say it’s not your breakfast.What’s far more likely is something you ate the night before, or perhaps you caught a stomach virus from one of your kids.

How fast does food poisening set in?

Q: Do you think its possible to have symptoms of mild food borne illness 60-90 minutes after eating the suspected food? I had dinner out last night within 60-90 minutes I was miserable and was up all night. I am pregnant so that just made it worse. Does that sound like it could be the dinner we had out or a coincidence?I ordered something very typical for me, pasta with red sauce and shrimp, scallops, and chicken. I was able to taste the wine used in cooking and wonder if thats what caused the upset tummy? Another gal ate the same thing I did and I’m drying to hear from her and see if she was sick or not. She’s nursing a baby too!I forgot to say that as far as food poisening goes this was mild. I am not dehydrated. It could have been much worse, but since I rarely get tummy trouble I am a HUGE wuss about these things.

A: Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of contaminant and the amount eaten. The symptoms can develop rapidly, within 30 minutes, or slowly, worsening over days to weeks. Most of the common contaminants cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. Usually food poisoning is not serious, and the illness runs its course in 24-48 hours.
