Hello everyone, good morning to you all. Hope you all have a wonderful night rest? Welcome back to my blog. I would love to appreciate @mesola for organizing this interesting contest. Food poisoning is a serious health issue that can happen to anybody. Have been a victim countless times, but the one still fresh in my memory was the one that happened to me in my 200level in the University. I ate food from a roadside buka and it was hell the next day.
