FOOD POISONING: WHEN FOOD BECOMES YOUR ENEMY!


Have you ever eaten something and a few hours later your stomach starts saying, “Madam/Sir, we need to talk” 😭😂.

That could be food poisoning.


Food poisoning happens when you eat or drink something contaminated with harmful germs or toxins.

🚨 Common signs include:

🤢 Nausea, 🤮 Vomiting, 💩 Diarrhoea, 😣 Stomach pain, 🌡️ Fever. 


It can happen from undercooked food, contaminated water, unwashed produce, poor hand hygiene, or food that has been stored improperly.


🤌What should you do?


The biggest thing to watch out for is “dehydration”, especially when vomiting or diarrhoea is severe. Drink fluids, and use ORS (oral rehydration solution) when appropriate to replace lost water and salts.


🧏‍♀️ Don't ignore severe symptoms. Seek medical care if there is blood in the stool, persistent vomiting that prevents you from keeping fluids down, significant dehydration, a high fever, or diarrhoea lasting more than 3 days.


🧼 PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN “TOILET MARATHON OO”😂


Clean. Separate. Cook. Chill.


Wash your hands, keep raw and cooked foods separate, cook food properly, and store perishable food safely.


Your food should nourish you, not send you on an unexpected bathroom tour! 😂❤️


Real Talk🤗. Real Health🩺. Better You🤩
