16 Symptoms Showing You Are Probably Suffering from Food Poisoning

New Articles: Symptoms March 8, 2018

Food poisoning is a condition that most of us have suffered from at one time or another. Many of its symptoms seem just like a stomach bug, and it is easy to assume that nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea are the result of a virus rather than something you ate. If you think back to something you ate a few hours ago and realize that an item in your meal might be suspicious, then you may consider the likelihood of food poisoning.

This condition happens more often with meat, particularly chicken or dairy, although some vegetables, such as bean sprouts, may contain bacteria that could make you sick. In addition, the same bacteria that lurks in spoiled food may be breeding on your dish rack or kitchen sponge, so be careful about cleaning with bleach regularly. If symptoms such as cramps, vomiting, and dizziness do not go away in a day or so, seek medical attention.

1. Feeling Sick

One of the most obvious symptoms of food poisoning is a sick feeling in your stomach. This can often be mistaken for a 24-hour virus or another problem, but if you are lacking other symptoms of flu and do not have a fever, you may conclude that the blame lies in something you ate.

Actually, nausea is a good thing when it comes to food poisoning because it shows that the body is trying to rid itself of something that is toxic. In fact, when people suffer from severe poisoning, they often induce vomiting.

You don’t need to throw up to rid your body of poisoning, but you can consume activated charcoal, which absorbs the substances that are making you sick and keeps it from affecting the body. Otherwise, you can allow yourself to vomit out the offending substance and feel better.
