The most common symptoms and signs of food poisoning are vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms that may occur are fever, abdominal pain and/or cramps. Severe signs and symptoms may include dehydration, blood in vomit or stools, diarrhea over three days, and neurologic symptoms; for example, weakness, blurry vision, and an abnormal sensation of the body such as burning, tingling, or numbness (paresthesias).
