FOOD POISONING AND ITS SAFETY PRECAUTION
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Food poisoning occurs when you swallow food or water that contains bacteria, parasites, viruses, or toxins made by these germs. Most cases of food poisoning are from common bacteria such as Staphylococcus or E. coli. Food poisoning, also known as acute gastroenteritis, is an acute inflammation of the lining of the stomach and small bowel. Food poisoning is a common, usually mild, but sometimes deadly illness that occur suddenly (within 48 hours) after consuming a contaminated food or drink. Most of the common contaminants cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. Depending on the contaminant, fever and chills, bloody stools, dehydration, and nervous system damage may follow. Food poisoning comes from eating foods that contain germs like bad bacteria or toxins, which are poisonous substances. Bacteria are all around us, so mild cases of food poisoning are common.
