10 Symptoms of Staph Infection

9. Food Poisoning

You can also contract a staph infection through food poisoning. Usually from 30 minutes to six hours after eating food contaminated with the S. aureus bacteria the symptoms will appear. You’ll get nauseous, and your stomach will start cramping, which will then lead to vomiting and diarrhea. Once your body has expelled the virus, it will still need some time to recover. Even if you stop vomiting and going to the bathroom, you will feel weak and tired and unwell. All symptoms should be gone after one to three days. If they do not, you will need to seek medical attention.
