    Probably not. If food is contaminated, then everyone who consumes it is going to get sick. It could be the one who is sick had a reaction to a certain food or they are actually sick for another reason.

    Food Poisoning Symptoms

    Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of contaminant and the amount eaten. The symptoms can develop rapidly, within 30 minutes, or slowly, worsening over days to weeks. Most of the common contaminants cause:

    * nausea,

    * vomiting,

    * diarrhea, and

    * abdominal cramping.

    Usually food poisoning is not serious, and the illness runs its course in 24-48 hours.
