How exactly does food poisoning work? How does the body know that the food is contaminated and which way to expel it out? How does it know when things are safe again?

As other people have said, it is a built-in mechanism of your body.
Bad stuff detected > Get it all out!
The problem is that once “trained” it is hard to overcome the reaction.
I got food poisoning from my High School Cafeteria. I ate a bad cheese burger that had ketchup and pickles on it. I spent 3 days in the hospital; running at both ends and plugged into a plethora of IV’s.
I cannot eat a cheeseburger with ketchup and pickles to this day. I get to “enjoy” a stomach purge just as I have the taste epiphany of cheese/ketchup/pickles.
It can be quite distracting for other restaurant patrons if my burger is prepared with those three magic ingredients.
