Food poisoning
Food poisoning comes from eating foods that
contain germs like bad bacteria or toxins, which are poisonous substances.
Bacteria are all around us, so mild cases of food poisoning are common. You may
have had mild food poisoning — with diarrhea and an upset stomach but your mom
or dad just called it a stomach bug or stomach virus.
Some of the most common bacteria are Salmonella,Listeria,Campylobacter ,E. coli .Someone who has food poisoning might:
- have an upset stomach (called nausea, say: naw-zee-uh)
- have stomach cramps
- have diarrhea (say: dy-uh-ree-uh), which may contain blood
- have a fever
If you go to the doctor, he or might also take a sample of your stool
(poop) and urine (pee) to test for possible germs that might have caused food
poisoning.The type of treatment you'll get for food poisoning will depend on
the specific germ that is making you sick. The doctor might give you medicine,
but most of the time someone who has food poisoning doesn't need to take
medicine.
Many things can be done to prevent food
poisoning. These precautions should be taken at every stage a food takes — from
preparation to cooking to storing leftovers. A lot of this responsibility falls
on grown-ups, but kids can help fight germs, too. One of the best ways is to
wash your hands if you're helping to prepare foods.
Other steps you can take to keep your food safe include:
- Wash fruits and vegetables well before eating them.Only eat foods that are properly cooked.
- If you're going to eat leftovers, ask a grown-up for help heating them up. By heating them, you can kill bacteria that grew while it was in the fridge.
- Check the date. Don't eat a food if today's date is after the expiration date. Use it before it expires.
- Cover and refrigerate food right away. Bacteria get a good chance to grow in foods that sit at room temperature.
- Don’t eat raw cookie dough because can carry salmonella.
