If we neglect safe practices we may have an outbreak of food poisoning. If we eat food which contains harmful micro-organisms, chemicals or toxins (poisons), that food can make us sick. To describe our illness we can use the terms food-borne illness, food-borne disease, or food poisoning. Food poisoning is caused by four agents: bacteria, viruses, parasites and chemicals.
Anywhere from a few hours to a few days after consuming contaminated food is the typical timeframe for experiencing symptoms of food poisoning. Although these symptoms may vary and may be mistaken with symptoms of other illnesses, the cramping, watery diarrhea, and vomiting may be part of the ordeal of food poisoning. More than 250 different types of food poisoning are known, though the most common types of poisoning are due to E.coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and the Norwalk-like viruses. While their origins and transmission characteristics may vary, these organisms all enter the body through the gastro-intestinal tract and may cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and cramps.
