Dehydration is the most common complication. This can occur from any of the causes of food poisoning.

Less common but much more serious complications include:

Respiratory distress, including the need for support on a breathing machine (botulism)
Kidney problems (Shigella, E. coli)
Bleeding disorders (E. coli and others)
Arthritis (Yersinia and Salmonella)
Nervous system disorders (Botulism, Campylobacter)
Pericarditis (Salmonella)
Death -- 50% of people with mushroom or certain fish poisonings (like puffer fish) die and 10% with botulism
