Food Poisoning
There are 11 million cases of foodborne illness in Canada annually, and many people who get sick don’t realize what’s happening. Pathogens such as salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, E. coli and listeria are uninvited guests at summer get-togethers.Depending on the microorganism, they can cause symptoms like fever, chills, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, nausea, vomiting and dizziness, hours or days after exposure. Serious cases can lead to death.
