When to Seek Medical Care
Foodborne illness often resolves on its own within 48 hours. Seek medical care if you are ill for longer than 2–3 days or if you have bloody stools.

Seek emergency medical care if:
  • Symptoms are severe, such as diarrhea that turns bloody within 24 hours.
  • Botulism poisoning is suspected.
