"We really do worry about the diarrhea as the main problem that the E. coli causes. In most cases, E. coli-caused diarrhea is watery and resolves in a few days, but it can also progress to bloody diarrhea, which tends to happen a day or two after the watery diarrhea starts."
"Anybody who has bloody diarrhea should absolutely be seeking care to get evaluated. If you ingested a potentially contaminated food linked to a known outbreak, you should seek care from your physician regardless of whether you have any type of diarrhea."
"It’s important that you talk with your doctor about the medications you’re taking, as certain anti-diarrheal meds can make an E. coli infection worse. Additionally, you want to make sure you stay hydrated if you do have diarrhea."
"Some people who ingest E. coli don’t get sick at all. This likely means their immune systems can handle the bacteria. There is also a rare E. coli complication known as hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which can be severe, particularly in children."
