A member asked:

What to do when food poisoned from old food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on : Symptoms. Old food is not necessarily poisoned. If you have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and have more than a couple of episodes of vomiting/diarrhea, it would be time to see your doctor or visit the emergency department of your nearest hospital.
