What is Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning happens when you eat food or drink water that contains harmful bacteria, viruses, or toxins. It can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Some common causes include eating undercooked meat, unwashed fruits and vegetables, or spoiled food. Food poisoning can be mild or severe. In most cases, it lasts a few hours to a few days. Drinking plenty of water helps prevent dehydration. Resting and eating light foods can also help recovery. To avoid food poisoning, wash your hands before eating, cook food properly, and store it at the right temperature. If symptoms are severe, like high fever, blood in stools, or extreme dehydration, seek medical help immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How can I tell if it's food poisoning or a stomach flu?

While both conditions share similar symptoms, food poisoning often occurs quickly after eating contaminated food, whereas stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis) develops more gradually. The timing of symptom onset can help differentiate between the two.

Which foods are most commonly associated with food poisoning?

High-risk foods include undercooked meats, raw eggs, unpasteurized dairy products, raw seafood, and unwashed fruits and vegetables.

Is it safe to take anti-diarrheal medications during food poisoning?

Generally, it’s advisable to avoid anti-diarrheal medications as they can slow down the elimination of toxins. However, in certain cases, a healthcare provider may recommend them.

Can I get food poisoning from drinking water?

Yes, consuming water contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites can lead to food poisoning.
