Cream or mayonnaise based foods, meat and fish that hasn't been cooked thoroughly, foods from buffets or salad bars in which the food has been sitting out for an extended period of time.

Answer 3

The most common form of food poisoning. It is caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria belonging to the genus Salmonella. In the USA, it is estimated that Salmonella infects up to 4 million people annually. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The disease can be fatal in infants, the elderly, and individuals with a weakened immune system.

Most salmonellosis is probably due to poor hygiene in food handling, but some people have attributed the increase in salmonellosis to the use of antibiotics in animal feeds. The antibiotics are administered to improve growth. However, if dosages are not sufficiently high to kill all Salmonella, they may enable antibiotic-resistant strains to develop. If the meat is then not handled properly, these super-strains of bacteria could infect humans. In recent years, another source of Salmonella has been raw eggs, which may become infected with bacteria from inside the hen.
