How harmful microbes to food
Microbes in food can come when
* Meat is processed. It is normal to find bacteria in the intestines which we use for food, healthy animals. Sometimes confused with bacteria and parts of those animals we eat.
* Food is absorbed or washed. If the water used for irrigation or wash fresh fruits and vegetables has germs from human sewage or animal manure, microbes can make about the fruit and vegetables.
Symptoms of food poisoning
In most cases of foodborne diseases, symptoms resemble intestinal flu and may take several hours or even several days. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include
* abdominal cramps
* nausea
* vomiting
* diarrhea
* fever
* dehydration
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to replace fluids and electrolytes (salt and minerals) lost by vomiting. Antidiarrheal medications are generally not needed.
Self-CARE measures to avoid dehydration include drinking water and electrolyte solutions to replace fluids lost by vomiting. A variety of pleasant-tasting electrolyte solutions are available over-the-counter.
People with diarrhea, which is not in a position to take fluids orally due to nausea or vomiting may need intravenous fluids. This applies especially to young children.
People who take dioyritikwn ("water pills"), you may need to stop taking them during an acute episode. Ask your healthcare provider for guidance.
