Health Problems Arising from Eating Contaminated Food

Ashiqur Rahman Emran




Food poisoning occurs when you swallow
food or water that contains
bacteria, parasites, viruses, or toxins made by
these germs. Most cases of food poisoning
are from common bacteria such as
Staphylococcus or E. coli.
Food poisoning is caused when your body
receives contaminated
food, bacteria's, viruses’, and parasites’
toxins.
The International Food Safety Authorities Network
(INFOSAN) is a joint program of the WHO and FAO.
INFOSAN has been connecting national authorities
from around the globe since 2004, with the goal of
preventing the international spread of
contaminated food and food borne disease an .d
strengthening food safety systems globally.


Bacteria infect the intestines, causing
inflammation and problems with normal
absorption of food and water.



They produce toxins that are poisonous to the
human body system.



When ingested, these chemicals can lead to
nausea and vomiting, kidney failure, and even
death.
Symptoms usually start within a few hours of
eating the food or drinking the fluid. The time
duration varies, depending on the type of food
poisoning.
 Some symptoms include having abdominal
cramps, diarrhea (sometimes may be
bloody), fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomitin
g, weakness (may be very serious)

 Often vomiting (blood sometimes)
 Diarrhea for a few days
 Blood in your bowel movements
 Abdominal cramps/pain
 Dehydration (little urination/dizziness/weakness/etc.)
 Double vision

 Muscle weakness that gets worse.


We’ve been told that
over 140 garment
workers north of Dhaka
fell ill on June 16 after
drinking suspected
contaminated water
from work. Few media
outlets have added that
140 reported symptoms
– but scarcely any
continued to show them
after an hour or so.



On May 31, over 50
workers of Linda Fashion
in Jamgarah area fell sick
after eating food
distributed by the
factory, while the
following night around
30 workers at Global Knit
factory in Shimultala fell
sick after eating food
provided at work.
When you travel to a foreign country, there is always the chance that you will
get food poisoning. You won't always know in advance whether a certain
restaurant is safe, or whether the food you are about to consume is good, so
you have to be prepared for the worst. This article will show you how to best
prepare yourself and to deal with food poisoning while traveling in a foreign
country. Northern Europe is in the throes of a record-setting outbreak of
potentially fatal food poisoning that has caused serious illness in more than
1,200 and killed 16.
Make sure that food from animal
sources (meat, dairy, eggs) is
cooked thoroughly or pasteurized.
Using a thermometer is
recommended.
 Avoid eating raw or undercooked
meats and eggs. Check expiration
dates on meats before purchasing
and again before preparing.
 Don’t defrost food in room
temperature! Instead, use the
‘defrost’ option on your microwave.
 Make sure that your food is cooked
at a safe temperature. When
cooking to the right
temperature, you kill most of the
harmful organisms living on the
substance.


Be careful to keep juices or drippings
from raw meat, poultry, shellfish, or
eggs from contaminating other
foods.
 Wash your hands, cutting
boards, and knives with antibacterial
soap and warm to hot water after
handling raw
meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs.
Wooden cutting boards are not
recommended since they can be
harder to clean completely.
