Symptoms of food poisoning

Symptoms of food poisoning mainly depend on the kind of contaminants that the consumed food contains as also the amount of food eaten. The symptoms might develop quickly often in less than an hour or slowly, getting worse over days or even weeks. Almost all of the contaminants found commonly can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and cramps in the abdomen. By and large food poisoning need not be dangerous and the symptoms run their course in 1 to 2 days.
