Human: What does getting food poisoning feel like? Is it like the flu, or worse?

Assistant: Getting food poisoning is typically characterized by sudden nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.  It’s very unpleasant and is more severe than the flu, though of course, the flu can be severe in its own right!


Human: What does getting food poisoning feel like? Is it like the flu, or worse?

Assistant: It’s hard to say, because it depends on exactly what food you ate.  But since food poisoning is caused by a stomach infection, I would guess it has something in common with the flu, where you start to feel sick, then increasingly worse.  So I would say it’s very similar to the flu, in terms of feeling that way.
