Restaurants and food manufacturers should have a vested interest in ensuring that their foods are safe for consumption. However, 1 in 6 Americans will contract food poisoning every year due to poor handwashing practices, improper heating and cooking, unsanitary food preparation, or contamination via harmful chemicals.
FOOD POISONING CAN HAVE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Although the immediate symptoms are typically obvious – diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and so on – some foodborne illnesses can lead to long-term damage. This may include:
- Kidney damage
- Arthritis
- Meningitis
- Brain and nerve damage
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Vision problems
Even if your immediate symptoms have passed, the long-term impacts of food poisoning on your health can harm your quality of life and increase your risk of further health complications for years to come.
