Too many sci-fi movies make it seem like you’ve got minutes before catastrophic symptoms appear after being exposed, but what’s the most realistic timeframe for an infection to cause a severe response?

    FWIW such short timespan seems possible with venom.

    Yes, venom came to mind, but I thought that might be cheating :)

    It’s pretty scary to see just how many things have the potential to give us a really bad day from just a small prick or touch or taste!

      “How many” - yeah, probably

      But statistically I think we should rather be worried about other things ;)
