E.Coli, what is it, what are the risks?
The incubation period of the bacteria E.Coli can last for a week. Very often, in the days following ingestion of the contaminated product, the first symptoms are felt. The appearance of bloody diarrhea is the sign that should alert you immediately. Abdominal pain, vomiting and possible fever accompany them.
Severe complications can follow these different symptoms, leading to death in some patients, especially children. However, 10 days after consuming the product, if none of the facts described here appear, you no longer need to worry. Health authorities prefer to give strict recommendations rather than letting consumers run serious health risks.
