Usually, the acute phase comes and goes in 72 hours or less, although you might feel the effects for up to a couple of weeks. Extreme cases can run on a different timely, depending on the pathogen ingested and the amount of tainted food consumed.

Depending on acuity, food born pathogens can on rare occasions be deadly. Watch especially for dehydration problems.
