Food Borne Diseases and Remedies

Foodborne illness also foodborne disease are referred to as food poisoning is any sickness resulting from the decay of soiled food by pathogenic microorganisms, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, as well as prions and toxins  in peanuts, poisonous mushrooms, and many types of beans that have not been simmered for at least 10 minutes. Foodborne illness generally rises from inappropriate usage, preparation, or food storage. Good sanitation practices before, during, and after food preparation can ease the risks of contracting a sickness. There is a agreement in the public health community that frequent hand-washing is one of the most effective way to fight against the spread of foodborne illness. Furthermore, foodborne illness can be caused by a number of chemicals, such as pesticides, medicines, and natural toxic substances such as vomitoxin, poisonous mushrooms or reef fish.
