Foodborne Illness

At one time or another, most of us have or know someone who has been affected by what is commonly known as "food poisoning." According to the CDC, many times when people suffer from stomach flu, it is oftentimes a type of food poisoning. Most of the time, people can get through the symptoms of food poisoning just fine, and get back to a normal life, but there are exceptions. Some cases of food poisoning are serious enough to cause life-time symptoms or death. Some of the most detrimental bacteria causing food poisoning are:

• LISTERIA: In September of 2011, a break out of Listeria-tainted cantaloupe is being called the deadliest food poisoning outbreak of the decade, claiming at least 13 lives, and infecting over 70 people.
  
• E.COLI: The highest risk of E. Coli is found in undercooked meat. E. Coli is a type of bacteria that can cause increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disorder, and stroke.
  
• SALMONELLA: Raw eggs and raw chicken are the highest risk for Salmonella, but it has also been found in raw vegetables and other raw foods. Salmonella infection can cause a victim to have abnormal bowel movements for up to a year and even turn into an autoimmune disease called Reiter's Syndrome in some cases.
