Symptoms of Food Poisoning
Food poisoning usually occurs when an individual eats undercooked meat. Meat may carry any number of viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Some of the more common contaminants found in meat are E. coli and salmonella. Food-borne illnesses are not exclusive to meat. Any food item that is contaminated may make you sick.
You have food poisoning if you are experiencing:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Weakness, fatigue, or pains
- Fever
These symptoms may be the sign of a more serious condition and should be treated immediately to prevent any long term injuries. Should you experience a debilitating bout of food poisoning, you may want to file a personal injury lawsuit against the establishment that served you contaminated food.
