How long does Sepsis take to go into effect, after infection?!
Question: I had a ingrown toenail infection, and I was wondering how I would know if I had sepsis. The infection is getting better, but I was curious anyway. I had sepsis before, and I'm not displaying any of the symptoms of my previous sepsis infection.

from a local infection site like that you would notice lots of painful localised swelling, redness and itching etc, it would probably start to spread up your foot and you could see this happening. A healthy person would develop a fever and start to feel unwell with a worsening infection like this before a sepsis was likely (unless it was a really, really nasty bug). People who have problems with immunity (or those with diabetes) would wanna sort it urgently as their risk of rapidly developing sepsis is high.
Sepsis equals- high temp, low blood pressure, purpuric rash and deterioration unless treated.
Aren't you glad your toe-nail is better.
Incubation of this would take a couple of days before symptoms show up.
