Extractions: Food poisoning is a term used for any illness of sudden onset, usually with stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, suspected of being caused by food eaten within the previous 48 hours. Most cases are the result of contamination of food by bacteria or viruses. Food poisoning is usually suspected when several members of a household or customers of a restaurant become ill after eating the same food. The bacteria most commonly responsible for food poisoning belong to a group called salmonella, certain strains of which are able to multiply rapidly in the intestines to cause widespread swelling. Salmonella is commonly caused by improperly thawed poultry, hands not washed after using the toilet before handling food, or if contaminated food is left in warm conditions for long periods of time. Other types of bacteria may be difficult to destroy even through cooking. Viruses in food are caused by raw or uncooked food coming in contact with human excrement. Mild cases of food poisoning can be treated at home. The affected person should eat no solid food but should drink plenty of liquids, including some salt and sugar to replace what is being lost from the diarrhea and vomiting. Most food poisoning is not seriousrecovery usually occurs within 3 days. If a person collapses, or if extremely severe diarrhea and vomiting suddenly develop, seek medical assistance.

Published by BUPA's Health Information Team November 2003 Food poisoning occurs when food is contaminated with germs, or the toxins they produce, and is a leading cause of vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. According to the Food Standards Agency, about 12% of people suffer a bout of suspected food poisoning each year. By following the good food hygiene practices outlined here, you can reduce the risk of what you eat making you ill. Many cases of food poisoning are caused by micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and moulds. The spread of these germs and the illnesses they cause can be prevented by practising good food hygiene. The bacteria responsible for food poisoning can multiply in food quickly, especially in warm and moist conditions. Just a single bacterium on an item of food left out of the fridge overnight could harbour many millions of bacteria by the morning, enough to make you ill if eaten.

Extractions: Campylobacters are small bacteria which cause one of the most common types of food poisoning in Britain. After the bacteria have been swallowed, they multiply in the gut and symptoms develop. Infection can result from drinking untreated water and milk, or from direct contact with infected animals such as puppies with diarrhoea. Bird-pecked milk has also been found to cause illness. Raw meat may be contaminated, and under-cooked poultry meat is commonly associated with the infection, or cooked food which has been contaminated with raw meat. What are the Symptoms ?

Encyclopedia food poisoning, acute illness following the eating of foods contaminated by bacteria, bacterial toxins, natural poisons, or harmful chemical substances. It was once customary to classify all such illnesses as âptomaine poisoning,â but it was later discovered that ptomaines, the products of decayed protein, do not cause illness. The symptoms, in varying degree and combination, include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and prostration; more serious cases can result in permanent disability or death.

Foodborne Illness : Food Poisoning
Foodborne illness, commonly called food poisoning, is caused by a number of foodborne bacteria and viruses, such as E. coli O157H7, Salmonella,
http://www.foodborneillness.com/

Extractions: The CDC estimates that 76 million foodborne illness, or food poisoning, cases occur in the United States every year, which means that one in four Americans contracts a foodborne illness annually after eating foods contaminated with such pathogens as E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, Campylobacter, Shigella, Norovirus, and Listeria. Approximately 325,000 people are hospitalized with a diagnosis of food poisoning, and 5,000 die. The estimated costs in terms of medical expenses and lost wages or productivity are between $6.5 and $34.9 billion (Buzby and Roberts, 1997; Mead, et al., 1999). A recent report (2005) released by the CDC in collaboration with the FDA and USDA showed important declines in foodborne infections due to common bacterial pathogens in 2004. From 1996-2004, the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 infections decreased 42 percent. Campylobacter infections decreased 31 percent, Cryptosporidium dropped 40 percent, and Yersinia decreased 45 percent. Salmonella infections dropped 8 percent, but only one of the five most common strains declined significantly. The incidence of Shigella, which is found in a wide variety of foods, did not change significantly from 1996 through 2004. Vibrio infections increased 47 percent. Foodborneillness.com describes seven of the most commonly recognized bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning. In addition to a general description of each pathogen, we have provided information on the symptoms and risks of each kind of foodborne illness, as well as how they are detected as the cause of infection, and measures you can take to prevent contracting each type of bacterial or viral food poisoning.

Extractions: Food poisoning, a type of gastroenteritis (digestive tract inflammation) caused by eating contaminated food, results in severe abdominal cramps, repeated vomiting diarrhea and muscle weakness. These symptoms develop suddenly between three and 24 hours after the food is consumed. Some types of food poisoning are quite dangerous, especially to infants and small children. Fortunately, proper handling and storage of food can usually prevent the problem. HOW DOES FOOD POISONING DEVELOP? Food poisoning is generally caused by bacteria allowed to multiply in improperly refrigerated or stored food. Some microbes, such as Staphylococcus, release toxins that inflame the stomach, causing nausea and vomiting. Salmonella bacteria (commonly found in raw eggs and shellfish, and responsible for many cases of food poisoning) act directly on the intestinal lining, causing painful cramping. Shigella, another food-borne microbe, is responsible for severe diarrhea (dysentery). In babies, food poisoning is often caused by E. coli bacteria, which are passed from contaminated fluids in bottles. Botulism, a potentially deadly form of food poisoning that leads to paralysis, is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium

How Does Food Become Contaminated? Often food is contaminated because of poor handling, bad storage practices and a lack of personal hygiene.
