The body usually recognises the consumption of contaminated food by getting rid of it, one way or another. So, it comes back up, or goes on down, in a hurry.
Otherwise, it might take a while for symptoms to develop: sweating, shakiness, and a general marked feeling of unwellness.
If you experience any of the above symptoms to a significant degree of severity, see a doctor.
by digestion of consumed food.
Food intoxication is typically caused by the consumption of food contaminated with toxins produced by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium botulinum. These bacteria can produce toxins that are heat-stable and not destroyed by cooking, leading to illness when the contaminated food is consumed.
They use food that your body has consumed.
Yes. Or if your are sure that it is not contaminated, you can feed it to them whole and raw. If they have not had raw/cooked meat before they might not recognize it as food.
Common types of bacteria found in food include Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter. These bacteria can cause foodborne illnesses if consumed in contaminated food.
The energy a body needs comes from the food consumed or eaten.

If a producer or low level member of the food web somehow takes in a toxin, the toxin remains in that organism. The organism that consumes the one that has become contaminated will consume several of those organisms, which are potentially all contaminated. There fore, the organism that has consumed contaminated organisms will get a stronger dosage of the toxin, and the cycle continues as the toxin moves up the food web.
Not every atom in your body was consumed originally as food, or even drunk as water; some atoms (particularly oxygen atoms) are inhaled, and are absorbed into the blood through the lungs, and become a part of the body as they are metabolized. Nonetheless, most of the atoms in your body were consumed as food.
From consuming food or drinks contaminated with Cholera micro-organism (If a person gets cholera it means he has consumed microscopic amount of faeces from a person suffering from cholera!) Food gets contaminated either by direct contact or by vectors like flies that carry the bacteria from the faecal matter to the food.
Radioactive isotopes can enter the body primarily through inhalation, ingestion, and absorption through the skin. Inhalation occurs when radioactive particles are breathed in, often from contaminated air. Ingestion happens when radioactive materials are consumed through food, water, or contaminated surfaces. Absorption can occur when radioactive substances come into contact with the skin or through wounds.
The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which causes melioidosis, usually enters the body through direct contact with contaminated soil or water. It can enter through cuts or breaks in the skin, inhalation of contaminated dust or water droplets, or ingestion of contaminated water or food. The bacterium can also remain dormant in the body for years before causing an infection.
