Don’t let that Jollof rice make you regret your life choices!
Food poisoning is no joke, it’s an illness caused by eating contaminated food that can make you feel like you’re in the ring with Muhammad Ali. Some of the symptoms include stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea.
How can you avoid this illness?
First things first, always wash your hands before handling food. Proper hygiene is more than important to prevent illnesses. Make sure to cook your food thoroughly, especially meats. Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables and fruits before consuming them. Also, make sure to cook your food at the appropriate temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.
It’s not just about the food itself, but also the conditions it’s prepared in. If you’re at a party or an event and the food has been sitting out in the sun for hours, it’s best to steer clear. Bacteria thrive in warm environments, and you don’t want to be the unlucky one to experience the consequences. If you’re eating out, ensure the restaurant follows healthy food handling practices.
If you do happen to experience symptoms of food poisoning, don’t wait it out, seek medical attention immediately. Don’t let bad food spoil your good mood! Stay safe and healthy out there!
