This one here is literally about food poisoning that happens when you eat contaminated, infected, or expired food.
Food can be contaminated by
leaving it open for some time
using dirty water to cook
Dirty hands
Dirty and unkept surroundings
Dirty cooking utensils
Eating raw food can also lead to poisoning. Mild food poisoning would likely go after a few days, while severe one would probably get you admitted to the hospital if not careful.
Signs of food poisoning are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Sometimes it comes with headaches and fever.
Treatment of food poisoning
Drinking lots of fluid; water , soda
Using antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and metronidazole
Chlorplomazine for vomiting
See a doctor if symptoms persists.
