Food Poisoning
Definition:
Food poisoning, or foodborne illness, is any illness that results from consuming food. Food poisoning includes both food infection and food intoxication, where there is a presence of bacteria, viruses, parasites or other natural toxins. Food poisoning can be avoided by proper cooking techniques and processing food to destroy bacteria.
Consequences of Food Poisoning:
Those affected by food poisoning could have mild to severe symptoms, such as nausea, abdominal cramps, dehydration, vomiting, weakness, diarrhea headaches or fever. Some consumers can have intestinal discomfort to severe bloody diarrhea. Depending on the strength and degree of food poisoning, people could die as a result. The onset of food poisoning symptoms may not occur for two or more days after the food was consumed, which often makes food poisoning difficult to prove.What a Lawyer can do for you:
