Food Poisoning

Food poisoning is a health problem that occurs as a result of contamination of food with microorganisms, toxins, or chemical substances and consumption of these foods. Generally, bacteria (such as Salmonella, E. coli), viruses (such as norovirus), parasites, or toxins are the main causes of food poisoning. The entry of these microorganisms or toxins into the digestive system causes irritation in the stomach and intestines, leading to various symptoms.
