Staph infections can cause a variety of problems for the patient. One of these is food poisoning, and the bacterium is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. When staph is the cause of food poisoning, the symptoms will usually develop very quickly, even within just a few hours.
The good news is that food poisoning involving staph is not usually serious, and the patient will often have recovered within the same day of the infection.
