Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is caused by consuming food contaminated with toxins, bacteria or viruses. Symptoms of food poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, fever and headache. It can be caused by eating undercooked or spoiled food, eating food that has been stored for too long, eating food that has been kept in warm temperatures, eating food that has been handled by someone with unwashed hands, and eating food from a contaminated source. Food poisoning can sometimes cause serious health problems, including dehydration, infection and even death. To prevent food poisoning, it is important to keep food at the proper temperature, wash hands and surfaces, and to be aware of the expiration dates on food labels. By taking these precautions, we can reduce the risk of food poisoning, and protect ourselves and our families from this serious health hazard.
