Keracunan makanan adalah hal yang dapat terjadi bahkan tanpa kita sadari kita dapat menjadi salah satu korbannya.Keracunan makanan yang tidak ditangani dengan baik dapat menyebabkan kematian sekitar 48 jam setelah kita terkena.
Adapun ciri dari keracunan makanan adalah : mual,muntah,keram pada daerah perut,diare,pendarahan,panas badan,berkeringat hebat,dehidrasi dan perubahan dari sistem saraf.
Kapan saatnya kita harus pergi ke rumah sakit bila ada ciri ini :

1.The ill person passes out or collapse, become dizzy, lightheaded, or have problems with vision.
2.A fever higher than 101°F occurs with the abdominal symptoms.
3.Sharp or cramping pains do not go away after 10-15 minutes.

5.The skin and/or eyes turn yellow.

9.One or more joints swell or a rash breaks out on your skin.

Untuk perawatan sementara di rumah dapat dilakukan tindakan :

1.Do not eat solid food while nauseous or vomiting but drink plenty of fluids.
2.Small, frequent sips of clear liquids (those you can see through) are the best way to stay hydrated.
3.Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, or sugary drinks. Over-the-counter rehydration products made for children such as Pedialyte and Rehydralyte are expensive but good to use if available.
4.Sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade are fine for adults if they are diluted with water because at full strength they contain too much sugar, which can worsen diarrhea.

After successfully tolerating fluids, eating should begin slowly, when nausea and vomiting have stopped. Plain foods that are easy on the stomach should be started in small amounts. Consider eating rice, wheat, breads, potatoes, low-sugar cereals, lean meats, and chicken (not fried) to start. Milk can be given safely, although some people may experience additional stomach upset due to lactose intolerance.

Most food poisonings do not require the use of over-the-counter medicines to stop diarrhea, but they are generally safe if used as directed. It is not recommended that these medications be given to children. If there is a question or concern, you should always check with a doctor.

Nah tetapi cara untuk menhindari keracunana makanan dengan melakukan tips-tips dibawah ini :

1.Safe shopping :
Buy cold foods last during your shopping trip. Get them home fast.
Never choose torn or leaking packages.
Do not buy foods past their "sell-by" or expiration dates.
Keep raw meat and poultry separate from other foods.

2.Safe storage of foods
Keep it safe; refrigerate.
Unload perishable foods first and immediately refrigerate them. Place raw meat, poultry, or fish in the coldest section of your refrigerator.
Check the temperature of your appliances. To slow bacterial growth, the refrigerator should be at 40°F, the freezer at 0°F.
Cook or freeze fresh poultry, fish, ground meats, and variety meats within two days.

3.Safe food preparation
Keep everything clean!
Wash hands before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Sanitize cutting boards often in a solution of one teaspoon chlorine bleach in one quart of water.
Do not cross-contaminate. Keep raw meat, poultry, fish, and their juices away from other food. After cutting raw meats, wash hands, cutting board, knife, and counter tops with hot, soapy water.
Marinate meat and poultry in a covered dish in the refrigerator. Discard any uncooked/unused marinade.
Thawing food safely
Refrigerator: Allows slow, safe thawing. Make sure thawing juices do not drip on other foods.
Cold water: For faster thawing, place food in a leak-proof plastic bag and submerge in cold tap water.
Microwave: Cook meat and poultry immediately after microwave thawing.

6.Safe cooking
Use a meat thermometer.
Cook ground meats to 160°F; ground poultry to 165°F. Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts and chops may be cooked to 145°F; all cuts of fresh pork, 160°F. Whole poultry should reach 180°F in the thigh; breasts 170°F.
Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
Never leave food out more than two hours (or more than one hour in temperatures above 90°F).
Bacteria that cause food poisoning grow rapidly at room temperature.
Use cooked leftovers within four days.
