Food poisoning

                                               Food poisoning

We can read in news paper that because of food poison , many people have died. The reports are common on a large scale marriage function or in some gathering.
But what is food poisoning? It is when a person gets sick from eating food or drink that has been contaminated . 
Food infection is when the food contains bacteria or other microbes which infects the body after food is eaten . Actually , the phrase poisoning refers not as the mixing of chemical or natural compounds which we call as poisons.
Most cases of food poisoning are caused by bacteria , virus , or parasites that contaminate food . In most cases , body is able to get permanently better after a short term of discomfort.
But people of high risk , including babies, young children , pregnant women elderly people, sick people and the people with low immune system are at a high risk. It may result in permanent health problems including death for them.
Though , it can not be prevented , care can be taken to see that hygienic conditions are maintained while preparing food and drink. Medical help must be taken if vomiting or diarrhea happens in a short time..
