Hello @jozzie90, this is a very educative piece you have written here on food poisoning.
With the stated symptoms it is now very easy to self diagnose oneself of this illness and take relevant steps to treat it.
And for those not infected with the illness, preventive measures have also been given to prevent future infections.
It was a delight reading this piece.

Wow. Such an interesting post on food poisoning. Sometimes the combination we make in form of food poisons us like someone drank garri and Ndiya. He struggled to live not until he was given bananas to eat. He gained back himself. Thanks for the invite. Looking forward to reading more of your posts
Thanks very much for your meaningful contribution, I've learnt from your contribution. I never knew that combining garri and ndiya could be that harmful, most time it's important to be prudent on our food combination to avoid being harmed.
