What is Food Poisoning and What to do if Poisoned?

Training in the UK food hygiene or, more accurately described as "Level 2 Award in Food Safety for Food" describes in detail what is meant by the term "food poisoning" is causes and symptoms.

In short any form of food poisons carried beyond the point of admission is technically a source of food poisoning if chemicals, viruses, or parasites objects, but the term is most often used to describe the poisoning food caused by the actions of "bacteria".


Once in place most bacteria do serve a useful purpose to keep our own world hidden or take time reactions take place to work for our good.
For example, some foods, such as yogurt and cheese little reach its taste and texture different from the effect of bacteria.
Bacteria work to keep inside our ears and nose healthy, bacteria in the stomach to help our food and in some cases, help disperse harmful issues in our fabric.

The danger is when certain potentially harmful bacteria introduced to our food and are allowed to multiply and release their poisons that are known toxins.

Bacteria are a living organism and they need four things under the influence of time to enable them to develop, are very similar to the needs of a human infant, they are heat, air, moisture and food.

Given these ideal conditions most bacteria will grow, but bacteria called "pathogenic" which then emit they feed poisons called exotoxin, or when called die endotoxins that cause the problem.

It is these toxins that make us sick and symptoms vehemence with which the bacterial strain and the actual volume of poisons in the food we ate.

If bacteria emit "Exotoxins" food itself becomes poisoned before eating and thus whenever possible, rejection is at an early stage by vomiting.
However, if the poison is in the form of a "endotoxin" foods are often deeply in the intestine before being killed by our digestive systems and thus poisons are ejected in the form of diarrhea.

It is easy to see that the endotoxin poisoning base can be potentially more serious because it is deeper in the body systems and are not able to be quickly ejected allows bacteria to stay alive to grow and multiply on food in the stomach.

So what if you suffer from food poisoning?

* Drink plenty of water, dehydration is a major factor in cases of food poisoning.
* If the problem persists, essential salts drinks can help revitalize the organs

natural fluids.
Place the body whenever possible, allowing them to fast rewind force.

After 24 hours clean, you could eat boiled white rice, baked potatoes or plain.
After 36 hours, you can clean start to return slowly to normal food.
If you are a manager of food or work with vulnerable classes do not return to work until you have lived 48 hours own.

Small food poisoning events are not uncommon, even in the most hygienic facilities.
