Common Food Poisoning Symptoms to Look Out For

The onset of symptoms of food poisoning varies. While most begin within 12 to 72 hours of initial contact, others take weeks or even months. Similarly, the duration of foodborne illness symptoms also varies. Many are gone within a week, especially with successful treatment and hydration, but severe cases can lead to months of bowel irregularity. If you or a loved one experience any combination of these symptoms for longer than three days, it is critical you see a doctor as soon as possible. A physician can order a lab test to make an exact diagnosis of what type of food poisoning you have contracted, then begin immediate treatment. Many foodborne illnesses subside with antibiotics and either IV fluids or substantial hydration. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the most effective path to wellness.

After your doctor makes a diagnosis, contact an adept food poisoning lawyer from Newland & Newland, LLP who can begin the next phase of your physical and financial recovery.
