Three major causes of foodborne illness may include, but are not limited to:

1. Bacterial infection (example: Ecoli or Salmonella in undercooked meat, food unrefrigerated, or from unwashed cutting boards)

2. Viral infection (example: Norovirus in raw shellfish or sushi from contaminated water... or from average restaurant food handled by someone with Norovirus - also known as the "stomach flu" and one of the most common viruses in the U.S.)

3. Parasitic infection (example: intestinal worms contracted from eating undercooked meat) Thankfully this is rare.
