Do you mean have E. coli food poisoning or having E. coli in your organism?

Everyone has E. coli in their intestines and it makes up a large proportion in your faeces. However, food contaminated with E. coli indicates faecal contamination which can cause food poisoning that would have such symptoms as diarrhea and abdominal pain. These poisonings are fatal very rarely.
