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.
Maybe two vector approach would make such thing possible - you get infected some other time and the virus is dormant until the venom gets you.
I’m not a biologist, though :)
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 ;)
