Food Poisoning and Foodborne Illness

Cheese typically is not a risk for Salmonella because it is made with pasteurized milk or is aged sufficiently to kill or inhibit growth. Cheese can become contaminated with Salmonella after pasteurization or in raw or soft cheeses that are not sufficiently aged.

Listeria is a bacteria. It causes a food-borne illness called listeriosis. It can be killed on surfaces using antibacterial disinfectants such as alcohol. When it is in the body as an infection, it can be treated using antibiotics such as ampicillin.

Eating an expired gelatin parfait won't guarantee illness, but it really does depend on the quality of the ingredients, who made it and how it was handled.

Yes! They carry many germs. Don't eat after bugs! This is common sense. No offense.

Pathogenic bacteria found in food generally require temperatures between 40°F and 135°F to grow. They also need moisture and food. They also tend to be anaerobic so they will survive better in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Also bacteria grows from uncaring use like not washing hands after use of the bog and leaving brown stains all over the bog and sink :)

Anybody can get food poisoning because it is the food that can kill you if its gone off or that item is bad. E.g Fish

The Egyptians made the wheat into bread and into soup and porridge.For dessert, the Egyptians liked to eat dates. Wealthy Egyptians had servants to serve meals . At large meals hosts and important guests sat on low chairs. Others used cushions or mats. Servants brought in courses one by one and put them on small tables beside diners , dishes of meat and more. People ate with their fingers and rinsed their hands in water between courses.

I take it you took your dog to the vet who determined the dog has Salmonella. Otherwise, you wouldn't know it was Salmonella.

The vet probably has the dog on antibiotics. Give them as directed.

The next thing you should do is try to determine where the Salmonella came from. See if he got into something that he should not have gotten into. Some rawhide treats have caused outbreaks. If you think it is a commercial product, check with your vet and public health folks. Also search the internet for any reports on the products you feed your dog.

Most bacteria develop rapidly between 20 and 40 °C. Those that are pathogenic to humans are normally cultivated around body temperature, 37 ±3 °C for fast analysis.

Most bacteria stop growing at temperatures close to 0 °C. Also most bacteria die at about 70 °C, but there are pathogenic bacteria that need 121 °C to be killed off.

Refrigerators shall have max 8°C temperature to reduce bacterial growth, 2 °C for storing of fish (hence ice boxes are used). Food shall be warmed above 70 °C fast and cooled rapidly to below 8 °C to according to EU rules for cooking.

There are though extreme environment bacteria e.g. thermophile ones that thrive in heat, i.e. 45-100 °C. In freezing environments many bacteria go to a kind of hibernation mode, as "spores", where they survive but don't reproduce. Others, the kryophiles, like cold and some can reproduce below 0 °C. Colwellia has metabolism even at -200 °C.

A Food Borne Illness is transmitted through contaminated food. Such contamination usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage.1

It depends on how long it's been there and if you make a sand which and leave it there for a day or 2 you can get food poising or old milk that's been left out for for about 2 to 3 hour can be dangerous so keep safe

It's actually not all that complicated to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness anywhere:

# Obtain food from reliable sources. # Store food properly - keep hot foods hot, cold foods cold and dry foods dry. # When cooking, cook foods to the appropriate temperature. That includes reheating leftovers thoroughly.

# Wash hands before handling food, at any interruption and when changing tasks. # Keep all food contact surfaces clean. It is actually better to allow dishes and utensils to air dry rather than drying with a reusable towel.

# Prevent cross contamination. # Use the food within a reasonable amount of time.

simple steps to be a drinking hero: 1: put glass of water to mouth 2: then slightly tip cup of water so it goes into your mouth 3: then begin to swallow. if these steps were to complicated please justify for me thx.

1. Put a glass of water close to the mouth so that the top tip faces your bottom chin or lip. 2. Align the glass of water to face your teeth. 3. Tip the cup of water towards your tongue so that one end of the water goes toward the bottom. 4. Move the cup out so that the cup ends up straight. 5. Swallow.

You eat the uncooked food and it digests in your system. You then get sickness and diarrhea. You can die of salmonella because its a very dangerous type of food poisoning. It is one of the worst types of food poisoning. Make sure that food is NOT red inside and is HOT before being served.

well you see, there isn't any thing that can actually get rid of it. there are, however, ways to make it better until it goes away.

1) throw up- it may not be enjoyable, but it will help get rid of the food that is causing your stomach to hurt. many people can force themselves to throw up by burping and pushing the stomach rapidly (eww... sorry its life). others, have to cause the gag reflex to kick in by putting their fingers on the back of their throat, but that is VERY unpleasant, and HIGHLY dangerous... make sure you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

2) HYDRATE- dehydration is a major symptom of food poisoning, especially if you are throwing up. be sure to drink PLENTY of water, and also a drink with electrolytes like Vitamin Water, or Gatorade.

3) eat minimal- be sure to eat, but not that much. eating too much while going through food poisoning can cause you to throw up it all up again.

4) DO NOT TAKE MEDS- unless directed by a doctor, DO NOT take meds such as Advil, peptobysmal, tums, etc. for you WILL throw them up and it will be a total waste of money, and it could even make your stomach hurt.

5) sleep- sleep is the body's best way of healing!

I hope this was helpful! but before i say good bye, make sure u actually have food poisoning, and not the stomach flu....

1) fever

2) throwing up

3) diarrhea

4) chills

5) stomach pain

6) weakness

7) body aches

AND, one last thing... go to the doctor if....

1) throw up or diarrhea has blood in it

2) fever is 101.5 F for a stable amount of time

3) severe abdominal pain

4) issues with swallowing

5) trouble breathing

6) inability to keep food or beverage down for 24 hours.

hope this was helpful, and get well soon!

In the U.S. alone, the CDC figures there are about 76 million cases of foodborne illness each year. This would include cases that aren't reported or aren't recognized and range in varying degrees of seriousness - from a tummy ache to death. See Related Links.

You never know.. Some companies and fast food places arent exactly ''careful''. The next time you get a burger, smell it, and if theres anything suspicious, ask the cashier person. Ive found disgusting things in school lunches in my past years of schooling. Hair, ''mystery meat'', Ewww..

Juliet Manwella says: I would have to say...yes. Because anybody at the factory who makes the canned food could have slipped something into a can or two. Then again I am just a loner girl that surfs the net saying whats on her mind.... *shrugs* IDK

I'm guessing that you're talking about the bacteria/viruses/etc... that are responsible for food poisoning. The "related link" is a decent website that gives a great deal of information on the subject.
