Food Poisoning
The CDC estimates that 1 in 6 Americans are affected by
food borne illness each year. Food
poisoning is defined as an illness caused by the consumption of food or water
contaminated with bacteria and/or their toxins, or with parasites, viruses, or
chemicals. The symptoms vary in severity
and include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache, with serious
cases resulting in life threatening symptoms.
Most of the illnesses are mild, improving without specific treatment,
but severe cases may require hospitalization.
A food borne illness must meet the following criteria: Similar illness, often gastrointestinal, in a
minimum of two people and evidence of food as the source.
