Introduction
Greetings to you all my healthy steemians, happy new week, I trust you are doing great,I am fine too by the grace of God.
In this new week I pray that let all that our hands find to do bear fruit and our expectations be fulfilled. I want to say a big thank you to @mesola for organizing this contest with such an amazing topic to sample different people's opinions that will help us take care of our health more.
Because good health is wealth, forget about material things (riches). If you don't have sound health, you can't or won't enjoy your wealth.
👉What is food poisoning?
Food Poisoning can be referred to as an illness that's caused through the consumption of contaminated food or water by bacteria, toxins, chemicals, viruses or even parasites.
You can have food poisoning through eating or drinking an expiring food or drink,even water.
Note: Having food poisoning doesn't necessarily come from contaminated food or drink but also through eating combination of different dishes at the same time. That can cause your stomach to bloat or you can even purge.
Especially when you go to an occasion where you have different varieties of food, please don't kill yourself, because I know there are people that would want to taste all types of food that's available especially in a buffet setting.
That's not enjoyment, it is another way of food poisoning
👉What are the symptoms of food poisoning?
People can have different symptoms depending on body system; it could come by having pains in the abdomen or rectum, feeling dizzy,chills, dehydration, fatigue, headache, general body pains.
And the symptoms could also manifest in form of vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion and stomach cramps.
But in all of these,it is not supposed to linger for a long time,it should be in a short period of time. If it lingers that's no more food poisoning, it's a serious issue.
Since the whole action takes place in the stomach,the stomach would in turn blame the mouth for always eating everything that it sees and sends everything back to the mouth, that's why vomiting occurs. And innocentlyanus will suffer too(diarrhoea)🤣🤣🤣.
👉What are the prevention of food poisoning?
These are some of the preventive measures against food poisoning;
1: Clean: Make sure you wash your hands, your work surfaces ( that's cooking area) before, during and after the preparations of your food to avoid contamination by flies.
2: separate: This means that you have to separate your raw food items like; raw meat, fish, chicken and eggs from ready to eat food ( that is from food that does not require you cooking it). So that they won't get contaminated by the uncooked food.
3: Cook: Make sure to always cook your food to the appropriate temperature to kill bacteria that might be harmful to the body system.
4: Consume food within the expiry date
5: put your leftovers food in the fridge immediately to cool them.
👉What are the treatment for food poisoning?
Sometimes, people that have food poisoning gets better on their own without any medical treatment.
Whenever you feel or know that you're having food poisoning first thing you should do is to....
*Drink enough liquids (water) to replace lost fluids and electrolytes to avoid dehydration.
You are tend to lost water in the process of;
Vomiting
Diarrhoea and
Fever.
So you need to stay hydrated by taking plenty liquids,it could be water or fruit juice.
Or you can go out to over the counter to get some antibiotics.
