How does your body defeat food poisoning from meat?

---

If you cook meat on a barbeque fast leaving it burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, giving everyone food poisoning, making them have diarrhoea and being sick, how does your body defeat it?

Thanks so much.
The undercooked meat could contain nasty live bacteria or parasites. (Thoroughly cooking the meat would kill these organisms). If you have a great immune system your immune system can probably take care of it but you'll likely be suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. However, some infections you can get from undercooked meat such as salmonella and e.coli can be very serious or deadly. Your body may not be able to "defeat" it. Even after you are over it, you can have permanent damage and problems for the rest of your life. That is why it is so important to handle food properly.

What signs would you expect to observe as a result of organophosphate poisoning?

---

Word Problem:
Many potent insecticides contain toxins, called organophosphates, that interfere with the action of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Ivan is using an insecticide containing organophosphates and is very careless. Because he does not use gloves or a dust mask, he absorbs some of the chemical through his skin and inhales a large amount as well.

What signs would you expect to observe as a result of organophosphate poisoning?
Use the mnemonic SLUDGEM

Salivation
Lacrimation
Urination
Diaphoresis
Gastrointestinal motility
Emesis
Miosis

EDIT: The antidote is either intravenous atropine or intravenous 2-PAM (pralidoxime).  (+ info)

What are the risks of Food Poisoning for Fried Rice & Eggs that Were Left Out?

I ate fried rice with eggs that had been sitting out for a little less than a day (both cooked of course). They were in a tightly sealed container, but left unrefrigerated during this time. What is the likelihood and risks of food poisoning from this food?

Thanks.
Additionally, are there any measures I could take considering I have already eaten this food? Thanks.

What are the symptoms of food poisoning?

& is it possible to get it from someone who had food poisoning?
Food poisoning is not contagious. People that get it in a group only do because they all ate the same food most likely. Symptoms of food poisoning come on within a couple hours of eating the tainted food. The symptoms are vomiting, intense abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. It is not a fun thing to go through. My husband had it once and he had the hardest time even keeping down water.  (+ info)

What is the difference between food poisoning symptoms and flu symptoms?

---

My dad ate taco bell last night @9pm, and started experiencing flu-like symptoms around 9am today. The symptoms were diarrea and vomiting. He started feeling better around 5pm. My mom and him were supposed to fly out to see me and my family today, but canceled their flight because they did not want to come here and get us sick. I am trying to learn about the major differences between the flu and food poisoning. We all know Taco Bell can be kinda sketchy. hehe
Stomache flu is caused by a virus, food poisioning is caused by bacteria in food that was not handled or stored properly. Most people confuse the two because the symptoms are very similar; nausea vomiting, diarrhea and stomache pain occur with both. Fever and body aches may occur with the flu.

Suspect food poisioning when others also get sick who have eaten the same foods with you. Symptoms may begin as early as 1 hour after eating or as late as 48 hours after eating (depending on the amount of bacteria present in the food). The symptoms of food poisioning may last up to 48 hours, but usually are gone within 12 hours.


With one severe type of food poisioning (Botulism) there is also blurred or double vision and difficulty swallowing or breathing. This type is often fatal if not treated with antibiotics.  (+ info)

What everyday home foods can cause food poisoning?

---

Could you please give me a list of what food and how it gets rotten and can cause me food poisoning?? I think I ate something bad cuz my stomach doesn't feel too good..

I think expired bread is one of the reasons my stomach is churning.. Please help!?

Should I go to the doctors?? How many days will I not be able to go to work then?
You may have ate bread that had mold on it, if so, you won't feel well for a couple of days, but not as bad as food poisoning. Usually bad food poisoning comes from meat that has been left out of the fridge to long, has expired, has come into contact with something that has bacteria on it, like a dirty counter, or was not cooked properly. If you have bad food poisoning, your stomach will experience excruciating pains, you will feel faint and be sick to your stomach a lot. You might just have a touch of stomach flu, it is flu season.  (+ info)
