Why does food poisoning occur?

Food poisoning can occur after swallowing certain germs, such as salmonella or E. coli, and symptoms may vary depending on the type of germ, according to the My Cleveland Clinic website.

Symptoms can range from mild to serious, may last a few hours or several days, and include the following:

– Diarrhea.

– Stomach pain or cramps.

– nausea.

– Vomiting.

– Fever.

– shortness of breath.

If a person suffers from diarrhea or vomiting, be sure to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

When should you go to the emergency room?

You should visit an emergency room immediately if a person experiences any severe symptoms, including:

– Bloody diarrhea.

– Diarrhea that lasts for more than 3 days.

– High temperature (higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit).

– Repeated vomiting so that you cannot keep fluids in the body.

– Signs of dehydration appear, which include not urinating often, dry mouth and throat, and feeling dizzy when standing.

– Inability to breathe easily.

– Some mild infections can cause problems with pregnancy.
