Hello my fellow steemians. Good morning to you all, I believe it's well. How was your night?, Because for me it was nice and cool.
Welcome to my blog again, I want to use this opportunity to share with you on food poisoning.

Food poisoning as it implies is the outcome of eating contaminated, spoilt or toxic food. It can also be referred to as a food borne Illness. Food poisoning can be caused by some bacteria, viruses, parasites or toxins in the food we eat.

Symptoms of food poisoning can vary depending on the source of infection. The time it takes for symptoms to appear or show depends on the source of the infection. Some common cases of food poisoning include the following symptoms such as Diarrhea, loss of appetite, mild fever, weakness, headache, vomiting e.t.c

Food poisoning can seriously cause a long-term problem in the health of an individual. Problems like kidney failure, damage of the lungs e.t.c For instance, some pregnant women, elderly people or even children whose immune system have been weakened through illness or drugs are more exposed to food poisoning and it can lead to some serious complication.
However, people in this category must ensure that they seek urgent medical help when necessary.

In order to prevent food poisoning, caution have to be applied when to the area of food and water consumption.
Some food items like egg, meat, diary product and so on are frequently contaminated. Therefore, it should be properly cooked before consumption if not and taken like that will cause danger to the health.

Somethings, pathogens are found in almost all the food human beings consume. But heat from cooking usually kills them before the food prepared are eaten. We should also avoid eating raw food because they are common source of food poisoning.

Your food stuff should be kept in a good place to avoid rodents reaching it. It is all this things that tend to food poisoning. Ensure that all the corners of you room are kept clean. By so doing you keep rodents away from your food stuffs.

We must also ensure that we wash our hands properly before preparing to eat. Many people has formed the habit of eating without washing their hand therefore resulting to one health challenge or the other. Even when you want to eat with cutlery such as spoons or forks, it is safe to still wash you hands and those cutlery first before eating.

Water of course can be contaminated and it is dangerous to our health. So make sure you drink from a clean source and through a clean vessel. Food poisoning can be handled or treated at home 🏡 and most cases it can be resolved within three to five days, but if not, it is advisable to go for proper checkup.

Finally, food poisoning can lead to different challenges that can also result to death, but keep yourself clean, your environment clean, your kitchen utensils e.t.c. But in case, you have any problem as a result of the things I mentioned afore time, try and visit a doctor for medical check up.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate. I will be waiting for your response. God bless.
