Foodborne Illness Attorneys
Foodborne illnesses are caused by organisms or harmful chemicals in the
food we eat and drink. Most of these illnesses are caused when certain
bacteria, viruses or parasites contaminate food. Others occur when food
is contaminated by harmful chemicals or toxins.
Foodborne illness often shows itself as flu-like symptoms such as nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea or fever, so many people may not recognize that the
illness is caused by bacteria or other pathogens on food. The onset of
symptoms may not occur for two or more days after the contaminated food
was eaten.
Bacteria that cause disease are called "pathogens" which can
cause foodborne illness. Most cases of foodborne illness can be prevented
by proper cooking and processing of food destroys bacteria.
The most common foodborne illnesses are:
Campylobacter
Salmonella
E. coli O157:H7
Listeria monocytogenes
Calicivirus, Norwalk, or Noroviru
Some common diseases are occasionally foodborne, even though they are
usually transmitted by other routes.
These include infections caused by:
Shigella
Hepatitis A
Giardia
Clostridium botulinum
Cryptosporidia
Also even Strep throat has been transmitted occasionally through food.
Other toxins and poisonous chemicals can cause foodborne illness. People
can become ill if a pesticide is inadvertently added to a food, or if
naturally poisonous substances are used to prepare a meal. Every year,
people become ill after mistaking poisonous mushrooms for safe species,
or after eating poisonous reef fishes.
