Do you mean have E. coli food poisoning or having E. coli in your organism?

Everyone has E. coli in their intestines and it makes up a large proportion in your faeces. However, food contaminated with E. coli indicates faecal contamination which can cause food poisoning that would have such symptoms as diarrhea and abdominal pain. These poisonings are fatal very rarely.

You need to go to the doctor straight away for starters. After that, to help with the diarrhoea, ask what the pharmacist recommends - there are medicines such as kaolin and morphine which help dry it up. But you MUST see a doc - e-coli can be serious

The main symptoms of E. coli infection are:

  • Bloody diarrhea.

  • Stomach cramps.

  • Nausea and vomiting.

Some people do not notice any symptoms. Children are more likely than adults to have symptoms. Symptoms usually start 3 or 4 days after you come in contact with the E. coli.

Most people get better in about a week. They often don't see a doctor and don't know that E. coli caused their problems.

When E. coli causes serious problems with the blood or kidneys, symptoms include:

  • Pale skin.

  • A fever.
  • Weakness.
  • Bruising.
  • Passing only small amounts of urine.

The best way to kill E. coli is to heat food to an appropriate temperature, and always wash hands. Freezing tainted food will not kill the bacteria.

E coli is not a virus - it's a bacteria. The best way to get rid of it is to cook meats - especially beef - until there is no trace of pink left.
