Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is an illness that occurs due to eating contaminated food. Food poisoning normally happens through eating raw or improperly cooked food and from food that has been prepared through irresponsible meal-prep practices. Food can be contaminated with different microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses that get in contact with food during improper handling and cooking. The gut health becomes compromised due to the infection which needs appropriate medical assistance.
Also known as foodborne illness, the condition can cause adverse effects in the individual who gets in contact with unsafe food. Let’s see how this disease can be managed with Medvisit, your ultimate telemedicine healthcare service provider.
