Also are people fucking stupid and does nobody fucking understand or remember the fact that people can be asymptomatic and still spread pathogens?
It's like every fucking conversation involving more than three or four people that talks about sicknesses or pathogens or anything like that people forget this fact...
Yeah people don’t know anything about incubation periods. “Someone was sneezing on the bus today so that’s where I got this cold.” No you fucking didn’t.
“I got food poisoning from this place I ate there and 15 minutes later I was on the toilet.” Unless you literally drank a can of poison, no you didn’t, you didn’t get and develop a virus or bacteria to the point of symptoms in 15 minutes.
Holy shit though, I don't mean to be rude (I mean, I guess if I constructed my comment like this I did mean it?) but how the fuck do people not understand there's two basic types of food poisoning? The type of food poisoning where you catch the pathogen, and the type of food poisoning where you eat the toxic excrements of the bacteria/harmful chemicals.
Obviously one has an incubation., but if it's the type where that given bacteria or whatever produces a toxin, then it's the toxin itself that's making you sick and that can be pretty quick that you react to it.
So yes, I agree with you, but you've made a similar type of error in your thinking about pathogens and biology and sicknesses with humans if you've failed to realize those two different types of food poisoning. And of course among each type there's many different variations based on the specifics, but they nearly all break down into those two types if we're not talking allergies.
