HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR FOOD POISONING
Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is
illness caused by eating contaminated food. Infectious organisms — including
bacteria, viruses and parasites — or their toxins are the most common causes of
food poisoning.
Infectious organisms or their toxins can contaminate
food at any point of processing or production. Contamination can also occur at
home if food is incorrectly handled or cooked.
Food poisoning symptoms, which can start within hours
of eating contaminated food, often include nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Most
often, food poisoning is mild and resolves without treatment. But some people
need to go to the hospital.
Causes
- Contamination of food can happen at any point during
its production: growing, harvesting, processing, storing, shipping or
preparing. Cross-contamination — the transfer of harmful organisms from one
surface to another — is often the cause. This is especially troublesome for
raw, ready-to-eat foods, such as salads or other produce. Because these foods aren't
cooked, harmful organisms aren't destroyed before eating and can cause food
poisoning.
Many bacterial, viral or parasitic agents cause food
poisoning. The following table shows some of the possible contaminants, when
you might start to feel symptoms and common ways the organism is spread.
Symptoms-Food
poisoning symptoms vary with the source of contamination. Most types of food
poisoning cause one or more of the following signs and symptoms:-
Nausea, Vomiting, Watery diarrhea,

Signs and symptoms may start within hours after eating the contaminated

poisoning generally lasts from a few hours to several days.
