Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Symptoms may or may not occur.

If symptoms do occur, they would be related to the gastrointestinal tract and may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

These symptoms may last varied amount of time but in general may last from 24 hours to 5 days.

The use of probiotics may help.
They are used in food poisoning to shorten the course of the symptoms mentioned but it is possible that if used before hand they may have a positive effect.

They can be found on their own or in yogurts with probiotics.

If symptoms do occur , it would also be important to use enough fluids to avoid dehydration and to avoid solid food till there is a 4 hour period with no symptoms.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
