The symptoms usually take a little longer to show up because the illness moves through the meridians, much like typhoid. In the first day or two, the toxin stays near the surface, causing headache, chills, and stiffness or heaviness in the back. By day three to five, it moves upward, leading to headache and a feeling of fullness or tightness in the chest. After five days, the toxin settles deeper in the organs, resulting in bloating, a heavy feeling, and joint pain or discomfort.
