How long does it take for food poisoning to show it's ugly face?

Question

Someone please accurately settle this debate once and for all:
how long does it take to get symptoms of food poisoning after you have eaten something bad? Our company hosted a Christmas dinner where they reheated frozen beef tamales twice. Of course, I did not know of this until after the fact. Now everyone is worried. We all ate at 12:30 pm. When will we know?

Answer 1

Few hours. Best the luck to you. If you didnt get it yet, that doesnt mean you got it, wait tomorrow morning when you wake up, if you dont have it then your fine. Just because they ere reheated frozen beef tamales twice doesnt mean its food poisioning, the food poisioning happens by food comtainmentation, cross-comtainmentation or comtainmentation at slaughter

Answer 2

As long as the tamales were not left out they should be ok. Reheating frozen tamales twice does not do much except make them mushy.

Heres a helper from WebMD:

Understanding Food Poisoning - Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms?
Generally, food poisoning causes some combination of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that may or may not be bloody, sometimes with other symptoms.

Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, starting from one hour to four days after eating tainted food and lasting up to four days, usually indicate bacterial food poisoning.
Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headaches, fever, and chills, beginning from 12 to 48 hours after eating contaminated food, particularly seafood, usually indicate viral food poisoning.
Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, dizziness, tearing in the eyes, excessive salivation, mental confusion, and stomach pain, beginning about 30 minutes after eating contaminated food, are typical indications of chemical food poisoning.
Partial loss of speech or vision, muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle paralysis from the head down through the body, and vomiting may indicate botulism, a severe but very rare type of bacterial food poisoning.
