Hi, this has been on my mind for sometime now, and I wanted to ask you
all a few questions. I have read an article at food poisoning http://medical-health-care-informati...d_Handling.asp which says 'Food poisoning results when you eat foods contaminated by harmful organisms, such as bacteria, parasites, or viruses. In the United States, an estimated 76 million people get food poisoning each year. 1 What are the symptoms and possible complications of food poisoning? If you develop food poisoning after eating contaminated food, the first symptoms will usually include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The time it takes for symptoms to appear, the severity of the symptoms, and the duration of the illness depend upon the infecting organism and your overall health.' How is food poisoning treated? For most cases of food poisoning, treatment involves managing the symptoms to avoid complications. You will need to replace fluids and electrolytes lost through vomiting and diarrhea. If you have severe dehydration that cannot be managed at home, you may need to be treated in the hospital. Antidiarrheal medications are usually not recommended and may make the condition worse. In rare cases, such as for botulism and E. coli, immediate and intensive medical care is needed. While it must be true, I wonder what you have to say about it. Do let me know! Regards, NAME - sherrybove |
