Viruses account for most food poisoning cases where a specific contaminant is found!. Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of contaminant and the amount eaten!. The symptoms can develop rapidly, within 30 minutes, or slowly, worsening over days to weeks!. Most of the common contaminants cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping!. Usually food poisoning is not serious, and the illness runs its course in 24-48 hours!. Stomach flu caused by a virus can last for 3 days!. Symptoms are the same to what you've mentioned above!.

Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause a mild illness (often termed "stomach flu") with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and low-grade fever!. These symptoms usually resolve in two to three days!. It is the most common viral cause of adult food poisoning and is transmitted from water, shellfish, and vegetables contaminated by feces, as well as from person to person!. Outbreaks are more common in densely populated areas such as nursing homes, schools and cruise ships (hence why the virus is also known as the "Cruise Ship Illness")!. The term norovirus has been approved as the official name for this group of viruses!. Several other names have been used for noroviruses, including Norwalk-like viruses, caliciviruses (because they belong to the virus family Caliciviridae), and small round structured viruses!.

Rotavirus: Causes moderate to severe illness with vomiting followed by watery diarrhea and fever!. It is the most common cause of food poisoning in infants and children and is transmitted from person to person by fecal contamination of food and shared play areas!.

Hepatitis A: Causes mild illness with sudden onset of fever, loss of appetite, and feeling of tiredness followed by jaundice, which is a yellowing of the eyes and skin!. It is transmitted from person to person by fecal contamination of food!.

If your immune system is weak, chances are you might get infective with the virus again!.
