When a Meal Makes You Sick
Food poisoning happens when you eat food or drink water contaminated with bacteria, viruses or parasites. Most cases are mild and pass within a few days.
Symptoms can start within hours or several days after eating contaminated food:
Undercooked meat and eggs, unwashed produce, unpasteurized dairy and food left out too long are frequent sources. Keep cold foods cold, cook meat to safe temperatures and wash your hands before cooking.
Rest and drink plenty of fluids. Start with small sips and move to bland foods once vomiting stops.
