E. coli is a family of bacteria that live in the intestines of animals. Some strains of the bacteria can cause disease in humans. E. coli poisoning usually occurs after eating or drinking contaminated products. Symptoms of E. coli poisoning appear between 3 and 10 days after infection, and may include abdominal cramping, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. E. coli infections can cause a very serious complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS damages red blood cells, which in turn can cause kidney damage or failure. If you or a loved one begins to show the symptoms of E. coli poisoning, contact a medical professional.
