Food poisoning can vary in severity, typically ranging from a 1 to 10 depending on factors like the type of pathogen, the individual's health, and the amount consumed. For healthy adults, it may range from a 2 to a 5, often resulting in mild to moderate symptoms. However, in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, infants, or those with weakened immune systems, it can escalate to a 7 or higher, potentially leading to severe complications or hospitalization. Therefore, the danger level can be quite variable.

Shigella can be dangerous during the first three years of life. It is usually effectively treated with a week to 10 days of Bactrim or Cipro. Proper hydration and sanitation of hands and food is important. Symptoms very closely mimic Salmonella food poisoning.
It is estimated that about 1 in 10 patients in the hospital acquire a healthcare-associated infection, which may include cases of food poisoning. The exact number of people who get food poisoning in hospitals each year can vary but can be significant due to factors such as contaminated food, improper handling, and vulnerable patient populations.
The code for food poisoning in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) is generally classified under A05, which encompasses bacterial foodborne intoxications and infections. More specific codes may apply depending on the type of food poisoning, such as A01 for typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, or A02 for other bacterial infections. For accurate coding, it's important to refer to the specific type of pathogen or source of the food poisoning.
Less than 10%. The vast majority of food poisoning occurs from undercooked foods (especially meats), and foods which contain dairy products (which have not been properly preserved), as well as foods prepared by food handlers with unclean hands.

Electronic food scales cost in the $20-$40 range are more expensive than mechanical food scales. The cost of the electronic food scale depends on which specific features it has, such as multiple memory settings, alerts, alarms, timers, and internet connectivity among others. A simple mechanical food scale costs only about $10-$15.
Anywhere from $10 to $40- it basically depends upon on the kind of features and bell and whistles that are in the food scale. A simple mechanical food scale should only cost about $10-$15. The digital ones, with memory and special functions and other features are more expensive and cost more.
