how can food poisoning occur so late?

570 views

I am a major hypochondriac so I need an answer to this…

Why does the internet say that food poisioning can start up to 2 WEEKS after you’ve consumed the food? I understand a day or two because the food is still in your colon somewhere and bacteria can multiply but 2 WEEKS? Does this mean if I eat something that might be sketchy I have to worry about it for 14 days?

Food poisoning is bacteria, takes a while to incubate, grow enough bacteria to make you feel ill, same thing with cold, flu Corona virus, tho they’re not bacteria etc…

Not a doctor or anything, but is what I’ve been told.
