*What is Food Poisoning?**
Papa Iyabo and Iya Bisi
Imagine eating your favorite roadside *suya*… or *Amala & Ewedu *or *Beans & roasted plantain* and within hours, your stomach begins cramping, followed by nausea or diarrhea. **This is food poisoning**.
- **Meaning**: A illness caused by consuming food or drinks contaminated with harmful germs like *Salmonella* or *E. coli*. Your body reacts by trying to expel the toxins, leading to symptoms like vomiting or stomach pain.
- **How It Happens**:
- **Poor Hygiene**: Vendors or handlers not washing hands properly before preparing food.
- **Exposure to Pests**: Flies or insects contaminating uncovered food (e.g., *jollof rice* left open).
- **Improper Storage**: Food left in high temperatures (e.g., under the sun) allows bacteria to multiply rapidly.
*In short*, food poisoning occurs when unsafe practices introduce germs into what you eat or drink.
