Warning Signs Of Food Poisoning

Food poisoning occurs when individuals eat contaminated food. Certain foods may be host to infectious organisms, including bacteria, parasites, and viruses. In other cases, the food may no longer be host to the original organism, though it may still contain toxic substances from it. Food can become contaminated at any point throughout the production and processing timeline. When the food is handled or cooked incorrectly in the home, individuals may contract food poisoning. The symptoms of food poisoning often appear within a few hours after consuming the contaminated product.
