Food poisoning is also called gastroenteritis with cause. And there are many different types of food poisoning, many that are uncommon here, but have recently been erupting and in the news. Food poisonings are caused by virulent fast moving fast growing bacteria and the most common are
Botulism, Shigella, E-coli, deli belli, montezumas revenge, typhoid fever, cholera, salmonella, campylobacteria etc.
Ecoli is most commonly connected with undercooked ground beef.
Shigella is a connected with clams and oysters and ground beef
Salmonella is connected with these and vegetables.
The basic first symptom is abrupt stomach cramps and pain. Followed by fever and vomiting and or diarrhea. Neurologically speaking, aphasia, dizziness, loss of coordination, loss of speech can accompany more advanced cases.
Botulisim: symptoms appear about 36 hours after ingestion of contaminated foods. This is by far one of the most deadly of food poisonings, since it takes so long to erupt. And by the time symptoms show the body is full of toxins.
Dry mouth, loss of coordination, loss of reflex to light, nausea, vomiting, cramps, dysphagia, and respiratory failure.
Typhoid fever is generally symptomatic of fever, headache, anorexia, abdominal pain and constipation. This one is brought on by fly feces and many people are carriers, such as Typhoid Mary and bring it with them. Cooking food completely ro rinsing food with hot water then cold in the presence of flies will help lessen. However antibiotic therapy is mandatory and relapses are frequent. It is fast becoming common once again with the close quarters of living conditions and poor sanitation of many people.
Cholera is brought on by ingestion of contaminated seafood, water and other items, even vegetables.
Cholera’s symptoms are watery diarrhea within 36 hours of ingestion if not sooner. The bacteria populates the bowl, paralyzes the intestine and chyme passes through. The body in order to rid itself, uses every fluid it has at it resource to try and flush, which works opposite. Vomiting to help clear the bacteria accompanies it. Therefore it goes out the bottom and top, often at the same time.

The symptoms and signs of food poisoning vary with the source and extent of contamination. The symptoms range from upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps and dehydration, to more severe illness such as paralysis and meningitis. These symptoms occur within hours after eating contaminated food. The diagnosis of food poisoning is done by testing the stool.
