Food poisoning occurs after eating food that contains harmful microorganisms or toxins. It is also known as foodborne illness. Improper handling of food substances or working in unsanitary conditions can increase the risk of food poisoning. The majority of the cases of food poisoning are mild to moderate and get resolved on their own. However, some people might experience severe symptoms for more than a few days. In such cases, emergency medical care should be given. According to CDC, almost one in every seven persons is affected by food poisoning once a year in the United States.
