Warning Signs Of Food Poisoning

Weakness

Another potential symptom of food poisoning is weakness throughout the body. Patients may also feel concentrated weakness in certain areas. This demonstrates that specific muscle groups are being targeted. A general feeling of weakness is not typically a cause for concern, provided more concrete neurological symptoms do not accompany it. Feeling weak and tired is common when an individual is fighting off an illness.

However, specific muscle weakness is neurological. Individuals experiencing neurological symptoms of food poisoning must get emergency medical attention. Their food may have been contaminated by an organism that is now infecting their brain or causing pressure to accumulate in the brain. General weakness happens during food poisoning because the body releases cytokines, which act as chemical messengers to help fight the infection. Individuals may also become tired if they lose their appetite and do not eat during the illness.
