By onset time, do you mean time until onset or how long symptoms last?
I like birds.

I mean how long it takes for symptoms to appear after ingesting the disease.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

I'm not Tailsfan101, but according to this source the onset time for listeria is 9-48 hrs for gastrointestinal symptoms and 2-6 weeks for the invasive disease.

Oops, I must have used the wrong source :P, I believe you get to ask the next question!

I got my information fro this source, but it might be outdated.
