Probably all of us know what food poisoning is. Even if you are a staunch vegetarian or practicing a raw food diet. And everything happens here. Especially in the deplorable state of the food market. You can get poisoned anywhere and anyhow, which is called "out of the blue." But if you have poisoning, what should you do? Consider first of all the main causes of food poisoning.
Causes of poisoning - feasts
Poisoning most often comes to us as a consequence of long holidays. New Year, for example, or May - when people drink, eat, walk for several days in a row. Here we become not too picky about food and can no longer think about the consequences!
Often, products are purchased before the holiday without due attention, in a hurry, regardless of information about the composition of the product, expiration date, manufacturer. And this is very dangerous, as it leads to disastrous results! Try to avoid foods thatincreased content of dyes, preservatives, GMOs.

We are already accustomed to preparing holiday meals in advance - the more the better. This is to ensure that guests never go hungry. Then, for several days, you and your loved ones are forced to eat up what your guests didn’t eat up: after all, “delicacies” cost money, and indeed - “so that it’s not lost”! This is our mentality, nothing can be done! The "Soviet" habit of saving is having an effect. So we eat up a week, or even more, salads with mayonnaise, with eggs - not the first, so to speak, freshness. And you have to pay with your own he alth. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever begin. Accompanying poisoning is vomiting. What to do?
