Norwalk virusThe most common foods implicated are sandwiches, cookies, raw and ice shellfish, salads. Before being transformed into an expensive delicacy, oysters lurk on the ocean floor doing what they do best – filter feeding. And when the water they are filtering is contaminated, so are the oysters. What’s more, they can be contaminated during handling. If served undercooked or raw, they can contain germs—mostly a gut-churner called norovirus and a bacterium known as Vibrio vulnificus—that can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Toxoplasma gondiiHumans are most likely to get toxoplasmosis from eating undercooked meat. Meat caused at least 1000 illnesses from 1990 to 2011, according to a scientist’s report. Chicken was the number one offender, with 400 outbreaks linked to almost 5,000 illnesses. Ground beef was another one. As experts say, raw food: unpasteurized milk, raw eggs, undercooked meat, and raw shellfish are the most common foods to be contaminated. Consider uncooked poultry and meat as potentially contaminated, and make sure to cook them thoroughly. Clean any surfaces that meat has come into contact with, and follow national guidelines on food preparing to avoid getting poisoned.
Mushrooms7 different types of toxins are found in a variety of different species of wild mushrooms, some of which are lethal. Many mushrooms, including the Green Gill, Gray Pinkgill, Tigertop, Jack O’Lantern, Naked Brimcap, Sickener, Early False Morel, Horse mushroom and Pepper bolete, contain toxins that can cause gastrointestinal problems, including but not limited to vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
Leftover RiceSurprising as it may seem, but rice can be contaminated with heat resistant bacteria which is able to survive cooking. If you leave rice out at room temperature, this bacterium will multiply quickly and make you feel bad in case if you are not careful. Prepare it safe and keep leftover rice in the fridge within 2 hours of cooking and dispose of any uneaten rice after three days.
