Food Poisoning
Food
poisoning is caused due to consumption of
contaminated food. It is caused due to presence of infectious organisms-such as
bacteria (E.coli, Listeria, and Salmonella),
parasites (Toxoplasma,
Giardia intestinalis), toxins and viruses (Norwalk virus) in food. This
contamination of food may occur during production, transportation, storage of
food. Contaminated
water and meat/fish are main causes for
illness, as long storage of meat products unrefrigerated leads to its
contamination.
Symptoms
for food poisoning include weakness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
fever, blood stools, stomach cramps and dehydration.
It occurs commonly in people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women,
infants and young children and the elderly.
