How do people get food poisoning?

Poorly prepared food is usually the culprit.  When you are cooking, never use the same utensil to take things out of the oven or off the stove.  First, wash it with hot water and a good amount of soap.  There are tons of bacteria in raw seafood,meat and chicken, which are killed when cooked properly.  Never eat poorly cooked meat, seafood or chicken.  Even one bite can make you sick for a week!  Also, if the food is left out on a counter, and not refrigerated soon after cooking, bacteria begins to grow again, and you can get food poisoning from that.

Is it just that you have no appetite or do you feel sick if you try to eat?\nReally, eat anyways. \n\nSkipping meals can lead to a wide variety of health problems.

Hi Alicia\n\nFOOD POISONING\n\nIf detected early enough by that bad queasy feeling it is best to vomit the food out. Drink 2 quarts of warm water with a little lemon juice in it. \n\nPut your fingers down your throat and tickle your uvula (that little drooping piece of flesh in the back of your mouth). After you vomit, or if its been too long since the meal, to Absorb the Poison or Bacteria; Drink 8 ounces of liquid with 1 heaping teaspoon of  Charcoal (herb): Repeat 2 to 3 more times. \n\nBest of health to you

Most of the time, what people call a 24-hour flu is actually food poisoning. It's not pleasant, but it's also not serious.

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are three main kinds of botulism. Foodborne botulism is caused by eating foods that contain the botulism toxin. Wound botulism is caused by toxin produced from a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum. Infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Foodborne botulism can be especially dangerous because many people can be poisoned by eating a contaminated food.\n\nSo it's an infection caused by a toxin.

The human can eat a whole lot before you start vomitting it back up.  I mean a whole lot.  Your brain will get the signal that you are full, but you can continue eating for a long time before your body starts to regurgitate the food.  Hope I helped and have fun.

You cannot pass along food poisoning this way. It sounds like you need to clean out your fridge so that you eliminate the cause. My guess would be that the common denominator is in there.

You cannot say ALL bacteria will be killed in acidic conditions because that is just not true... the bacteria that usually infects people through food poisoning is salmonella and E. Coli... Some bacteria can withstand acid conditions. The acidity sometimes will raise, causing inflammation to try to rid the bacteria since pH level 2 did not break it down... and boy, does that hurt because I've had food poisoning by campylobacter bacteria 2 yrs ago... Food poisoning is so common because people do not always process or treat their food correctly...for example, unclean manufacturing or leaving meat out for 10hrs uncovered in the open, unrefridgerated...

When in doubt, throw it out.  Food poisoning won't help your situation.

There can be many reasons to get sick in foreign countries, but one of the most common are changes in intestinal flora. Different foods (and the way food is prepared) create different bacteria in the gut. The change-over to the new bacteria create a transitional illness. Usually it only lasts a day or two, but sometimes longer.

Probably something else.  It takes several hours up to a day before you will know if you have food poisioning.

if you had food poisoning, you would know, Everyone I know who has had it said they would have rather just died then to feel like that again.  Maybe you have an appendicitis or something.  Go to the Dr.  or at least call the local advice nurse and ask what they think...

Depends on what you mean by "food poisoning".   Everyone here assumes that you are talking about staph contamination of food, but there are several common bacteria that can contaminate food, and each has a different time line and course of symptoms, from almost immediately until days later.  \n\nNow if you are talking about someone adding poison to food, that again depends on which poison, from immediate to days, weeks or years later.

Food can go bad due to bacterial contamination - you would get sick if you ate it, so that the food would no longer be considered edible. For example, after a power outage, I had to clean out my refrigerator, and dispose of all the food that is no longer edible, but keep the food that is still edible.

If it is bad then 3-4 days, just consult your doctor if things do not get better.  You need pleanty of juice and water..crackers are always good.  Avoid proccessed foods..get well soon
