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.
