1-4 days but the median is under 2. Significantly under 2 for Influenza B where the median incubation time is something like 14 hours! It always amazes me how quickly influenza can work its evil magic.
The "good" news, I guess, is if you think you've been exposed you'll know one way or the other pretty darn quick instead of worrying about it for a week.
