Food Poisoning Symptoms to Look Out For
Unpasteurized dairy can cause food poisoning. Symptoms may vary depending on the bacteria involved, but can include:
- Nausea
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever
Most cases of food poisoning get better on their own within a week and can be treated at home with rest and lots of hydration.
If you’re experiencing high fever, severe diarrhea, or prolonged dehydration, you should seek immediate medical care.
