Or various non-bug causes such as scombroid (not that it
applies here, it's caused by seafood). It can hit in
as little 20-30 minutes. You don't even need to have
an allergy or sensitivity to get it.

All in all, it *is* possible to develop symptoms caused by
a bug within two hours, S. Aureus being a good example.

Staphylococcus aureus

Onset of symptoms: The onset of symptoms is usually 1-6 hours.
The onset and severity of the illness is usually dependent
on the individuals susceptibility to the toxin, the amount
of contaminated food eaten, and the amount of toxin in the
food ingested.

Makes sense........

Just pray it ain't C. botulinum.

I found a can of peas in the back of the pantry the other day.
The brand was "Apple Tree".

That store went out of business a good 18 years ago here in town.
The can was bulging at both ends.

Guess what I did with that can of peas? ;-)

Not... ;-)

That's one thing my parents taught me at an early age.
_Never_ ever eat a can of food that is bulging. Don't
even open it.
