* Because your body has to digest the rotten food first, and once it starts it's a bad ride my friend. * There are many causes of food borne illness. Ingested toxins can hit very quickly within a couple hours. Ingested microbes can take a while to build up the effect which can mean several hours, days or even weeks. See Related Links. == == * It depends on the height and weight of the person, how much of the tainted food the person has eaten, the type of toxin or organism consumed and the person's general health and susceptibility. Some people may get cramps, vomit a couple of times, have a little diarrhea and it's gone. Other people will have severe cramping, perspiring and constant vomiting. It's time to go to the ER! Food poisoning can take a couple of hours to 24 hours to several days or weeks to show any symptoms.
