What Is The Incubation Period For An E. Coli Infection?
I recently had E coli and sepsis, but had absolutely no symptom. How can that be? How long between ingesting something that causes it, and the time you have symptoms? I am trying to figure out how I got it so that I can avoid having it again. One doctor told me that citrus and potassium will help. Is there anything else you can suggest?
