This isn't a simple question because there isn't a simple answer.

By a "bug" I am assuming you mean a virus. There are so many different types of viruses, and within each virus family, the incubation period can vary.

Some may be just a matter of 2-3 days, but some could take up to 2 weeks.

they say the incubation period is about 2-3 days... Take airborne and vitamin C!!

the incubation period is different for bacterial diseases and different for viral as well

Depends on the "bug". Some take a few hours, some incubate for months.

it really can vary from person to person. it depends on the virus/bacteria---incubation period, as well as the person's immune system. every bug will not make us sick at all, our immune system can usually fight them off, we are exposed to stuff like that every day and our body is continually fighting them off.

it usually depends on the bug, what kind is it????
