Typically : Typically you should be in the clear about 3 days after all her symptoms have resolved. The key to preventing spread of infection is good hygiene. This entails washing your hands often with warm water and soap, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, other things for the future that can be done to avoid food poisoning are: wash raw fruits and vegetables before consuming cook seafood thoroughly always disinfect surfaces with a mixture of detergent and chlorine bleach during and immediately after someone is sick never eat food prepared by someone who is sick for at least 3 days after their symptoms have resolved. Take good care.
