No, food poisoning isnt contagous, nor does it produce a fever. Food poisoning usually takes about 2 days to recover at which time your body has somehow expelled the offensive food source, either by vomiting or diarrhea. It is flu season, not surprising among a group of friends that you would all have the same thing. Either go to the doctor and get on some meds, or stay away from healthy people until you are better.

there is a horrible stomach virus sweeping through a lot of the schools here in Tn ,and you are right food poisoning is not contagious unless everyone ate the exact same food from the same pot,by the way It could be a bacterial infection which can be spread ,you will need antibiotics to work on that if its viral all you can do is treat the symptoms until it works its course, hope this info helps.

It could be either.
Food poisoning can cause fever, nausea/vomiting, abd pain, diarrhea and just generally feeling awful. It can last up to a week, depending on the kind. Food poisoning isn't contagious, however.
Same symptoms for a virus.
Have your friends been to their family MDs yet to get a diagnosis and treatment? It would be a good idea.

Food poisoning is not contagious...unless of course maybe you ate his poo...and that would be gross. Food poisoning can be deadly...and it can take a bit to get over...but usually not four days. I would assume he has a really bad flu. But regardless, make sure he stays hydrated and gets rest...and he should feel better soon.

i chanced on the e book to be very informative and consumer-friendly to confirm. i've got lost 17 pounds in 12 days, i'm purely in contact that i'm dropping too lots weight, too right now. i will admit i've got not observed the handbook precisely. i'm not sticking completely to the listed ingredients and meal plans (yet oftentimes) and doing little or no workout, however the burden keeps flying off. It for sure works and if i might observed it precisely i think of it might scare the living daylights out of me simply by quantity that i might lose. So thank you lower back for the coaching. i've got on no account offered something like this earlier because of the fact they're many times packed with trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful marvel. get all started immediately!

Doesn't sound like food poisoning - that usually resolves in 24 hours or so.

your friends may have a parasite. did your friends all eat at the same place? parasites can cause the same side effects asfood poisoning, but food poisoning goes away. may need antibiotic therapy for possible parasites in the intestinal tract
