Call your healthcare provider right away if you have severe E. coli symptoms, like diarrhea that lasts for more than 3 days or diarrhea with a fever higher than 102˚F, bloody diarrhea, or so much vomiting that you can’t keep liquids down and are not peeing much.
If you have symptoms of E. coli, write down what you ate in the week before you got sick, report your illness to your health department, and answer questions about your illness if they call you.
