Symptoms of Staph Infection

5. Food Poisoning

Staph infections can develop due to eating contaminated food, leading to food poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. In these cases, people may also develop low blood pressure due to dehydration. Typically, these signs appear within two to eight hours of consumption of a contaminated food. This type of staph infection usually lasts 12 hours, and individuals should see a doctor if the symptoms do not self-correct in one or two days, as severe dehydration and other complications can occur.
