How long does it take to get food poisoning?!


Question: How long does it take to get food poisoning.?
I have the worst diarrhea ever (watery, projectile) but the only questionable food I ate was a Big Mac I ate last night. Is it possible for it to take 12 hrs for it to kick in.?
The only other thing that may be the culprit is a brand new plastic water bottle I washed and drank from today. Other than that I've been eating the same things I ate before.
Sorry to be gross, but I'm trying to find out where the heck it came fromHealth Question & Answer

Yes, it is possible for it to kick in 12 hours after the mean. Generally this is when it begins to take serious effect but could vary. Drink MANY fluids and eat light. Beware of dehydration and if you do not feel any better within a day, consult your doctor. Wish you wellHealth Question & Answer

Looks like all fingers point to the Big Mac. Personally I steer clear of fast food because I worked briefly in food safety.

No you'd be sick after a couple hours. It wouldn't take that long to kick in. If could have upset your bowels but its not food poisoning. You'd be puking if it was.Health Question & Answer
