Follow Business Insider: When Americans think of Italian food, they tend to think of pepperoni pizza, garlic bread, and chicken Parmesan. But all of those dishes are actually Italian-American hybrid foods created by Italian immigrants who were cooking with U.S. ingredients. In other words, what we think of as âclassic Italianâ is not actually from Italy at all.
If you have been exposed to someone with the flu, you may be concerned about catching it. You may also wonder how long it takes to get sick after you have been exposed and how long you are contagious when you have it. Flu Incubation Period The typical flu incubation periodâthe time between exposure and the start of symptomsâis between 24 hours and four days, with the average being two days.
Probably one of the most common concerns we hear is from people who, right after getting a flu shot, got something that seems to them like flu. It is possible it could happen. After a dose of flu vaccine, it takes at least a week to become immune. If flu is in your community and you are exposed, it takes two or three days for symptoms to appear. So it is possible if you are exposed to flu to get sick before the vaccine has a chance to work. It gives people the impression the vaccine caused the flu.
