So, how long after eating bad cheese will you get sick? Anywhere from thirty minutes (if you have a very sensitive soul) to three days for the classic revenge. And if it’s the scary long-haul stuff? Two months. The cheese you ate in April might ruin your July 4th picnic.
My advice? If you ate the questionable cheese, drink lots of water and don’t plan any important events for the next 72 hours. And next time, remember: cheese is a living thing. If it looks like it’s planning something, listen to your fear. Your future self—the one not hugging a porcelain throne—will thank you.
