Answers:
It depends on the type of food poisoning!.

Some bacteria produce something called an endotoxin!. This is a chemical produced by the bacteria and its that toxin which causes the symptoms!. This is the case with food poisoning due to staph aureus!. I had this when I was stationed in Kuwait and I was sick as a dog and vomiting within 45 minutes of eating!.

Other types of food poisoning involve the bacteria themselves actually multiplying and causing sickness that way!. Those types of food poisoning, like salmonella, take longer to present!.

Based on your description, if its the food, its probably food poisoning from an endotoxin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eek, food poisining isn't pleasant, i've had it twice!. I'd say it gets out of your system in 24 hours, sometimes less depending on what you have eaten!. Some people can feel the symptoms immidiatly but you won't start to vomit until it's been there for about 24 hours- which is when most people realise they have it!. You will vomit alot and have excruciating stomach pains if you have it, but the pain should go as soon as you throw up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They say you can tell if it's food poisoning if symptoms occur 12hrs after you have eaten something, but lets be honest everyone is different with different metabolisms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
