2) a diarrhoeal infection due to the ingestion of bacterial cells which produce a toxin in the small intestine.
Symptoms caused by Bacillus cereus can include abdominal pain, stomach cramping, watery diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. Depending on the type of illness caused, symptoms can appear 30 minutes to 24 hours after consuming affected food, and last for 6 to 24 hours.
