Food poisoning is a general term for health problems arising from eating contaminated food. Food may be contaminated by bacteria, viruses, environmental toxins, or toxins present within the food itself, such as the poisons in some mushrooms or certain seafood.
Food poisoning is a common illness. It is usually mild, but can become severe and in some cases fatal. Symptoms of food poisoning (such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhoea) may start suddenly (within 48 hours) of having contaminated food or drink, or may be as late as 70 days. These symptoms are affected by many factors including type of contaminant, the amount eaten, age and your overall health.
