Answer 2

There are many pathogens that cause serious digestive upset and systemic illness.

One of the most common pathogens is "e. coli", or escherichia coli. All warm-blooded animals, including humans, have e. coli growing in their colons as a natural part of the digestive system. The "normal" strains of e. coli help us to break down foods and extract important vitamins from them.

But all bacteria have the ability to mutate and become different strains. Sometimes e. coli can mutate into a more powerful, less beneficial form. If we are exposed to something contaminated with a dangerous strain of e. coli, it can grow out of control and replace the normal levels of beneficial bacteria we all have within us and cause serious illness.
