What to Do After You Are Injured
Many food poisoning cases are mild and just cause nausea, diarrhea, or stomach cramps. Luckily, most people fully recover in a couple of days. So, if you think that you may have a mild case, drink plenty of clear, non-carbonated fluids and rest. Don't use antacids and don't force vomiting. As you start to feel better, eat bland foods to ensure a speedy recovery.
The signs of a more serious case of food poisoning are more severe. You may experience severe diarrhea and vomiting, as well as a fever reaching over 100⁰ F. You may have difficulty breathing, speaking, ands wallowing. Dehydration, muscle weakness, and abdominal pain are also common in serious food poisoning cases.
Seek medical help immediately. Then, ask your medical provider to take the necessary steps to confirm the illness (such as testing a stool sample for bacteria); otherwise you could lose your right to legal compensation. Follow all instructions to get better as soon as possible.
Keep careful track of all your symptoms, dates you experienced them, and, if possible, save the contaminated food for testing. Contact your health department to share any important information about the illness.
What is food poisoning?
Food poisoning is caused by swallowing food or water that is contaminated with certain bacteria, viruses, toxins, or parasites. When you ingest the contaminated food, you can become ill and experience a number of different symptoms.
Food can become contaminated by a number of different factors. Meat or poultry can become contaminated during processing by coming into contact with certain bacteria. Improper food handling and preparation can also cause contamination. Water can be contaminated by waste in the growing or shipping of products.
Some of the more common types of food poisoning include:
- Botulism
- Campylobacter
- E. coli
- Hepatitis A
- Listeria
- Norovirus
- Salmonella
