Food Poisoning

What is Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning, often known as foodborne illness, is a condition brought on by consuming tainted food. The most prevalent causes of food poisoning are infectious organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, or their toxins.

 

Food can be contaminated by infectious organisms or their poisons at any step during processing or manufacture. Contamination can also happen at home if food is handled or cooked incorrectly.

 

Food poisoning symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can appear within hours of consuming contaminated food. Food poisoning is usually minor and goes away without treatment.
