Q: how long are you contagious after potential food poisoning ? my family and i were sick the last two days but are starting to feel better, no vomiting for hours?

: ? contagious? You get food poisoning from the toxic material in the food, which you do not spread to others. If others get symptoms they ate the food. If you got a stomach virus you are contagious while you have fever &amp;the virus remains infectious in your poop.
