Top 10 Food Myths and Facts

Feeling nauseous? Having some stomach cramping and loss of appetite? Experiencing fatigue and diarrhea? Your first thought may be, “I must have a 24 hour stomach flu”. Think again. These symptoms along with a fever, abdominal pain and vomiting are also the symptoms of food poisoning. Illness caused by eating contaminated food, including undercooked poultry, can last from one to 10 days. If the symptoms last for more two days, you have a temperature of higher than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit and you are vomiting blood or having blood in your stools, consult your physician.
