What are the different types of food poisoning and their subsequent treatments?\nSome of the most common types of bacteria are salmonella, E. Coli, shigella, campylobacter, and botulism. \n\nSalmonella \n\nSalmonellosis, a public health disease problem, causes worldwide morbidity and mortality of humans and animals. Salmonellae are frequently found in the intestinal tract of a variety of animals. Most animals colonized by salmonellae show no signs of illness (http://moose.uvm.edu/%7erasmith/index.html). Eating inadequately cooked or improperly refrigerated poultry, milk, eggs, meats, or other food products contaminated with the salmonella bacteria can cause infection and subsequent illness. (http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~mow/chap1.html). Determining that salmonella is the cause of the illness depends on laboratory tests that identify salmonella in the feces of an infected person. Antibiotics are not usually necessary unless the infection spreads from the intestines, then it can be treated with ampicillin, gentamicin, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, or ciprofloxacin. As a result of the use of antibiotics to promote the growth of feed animals, salmonella has built a resistance to some antibiotics. (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/cause/jan98.htm). Most people infected with salmonella usually recover pretty quickly, except some have irregular bowel movements for several months. Some develop Reiter's syndrome, which develops arthritic symptoms, irritated eyes, and painful urination. It can last for multiple years and lead to chronic arthritis. One thousand people every year die of acute salmonellosis (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/foodborn/salmon.htm). A recent concern has been with the salmonella Typhimurium strain DT 104. " More than one-third of the patients have required hospitalization, and 3% have died"(http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol3no4/foster.htm). \n\n\nAs a result of salmonella being one of the most common types of food poisoning, there has been many research studiess on the incidence rate and prevention methods. A study done in the UK, by the Department of Agricultural and Food Economic, used the Delphi method to estimate the incidence of food-borne Salmonella. A panel of experts went through five rounds of questioning on the estimates of incidences of Salmonella in the UK. This Delphi method allows less variation to be given by the different experts. The study concluded that the annual incidence of Salomonella was 537,000 in the UK. Poultry accounted for 50% of the cases and egg products 26% of the cases. Also, food irradiation and basic standards by the HACCP were listed as the most effective prevention methods (Int J Food Microbiol 195-204). Another study by Hubner Kohler studied the effects of cobalt-60 gamma radiation on Salmonella. By using specific doses of cobalt-60 and controlling the temperature, the conclusion drawn from the research was that: "irradiation is highly effective against Samonella, irradiation doses of 4.0 KGy is able to kill 1 million Salmonella bacteria per chicken." (Kohler 665) Also, doses of 4.0 KGy does not effect the quality of the chicken (Kohler 665-68). \nShigella \n\nShigella is found in the gastrointestinal tract of men only. It occurs most often in institutions like child care centers and nursing homes. It is spread by not washing hands after coming in contact with fecal matter. Symptoms consist of bloody diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting within a few days of contact. Shigellosis usually resolves in five to seven days. For those with mild food poisoning with this bacterium, antibiotics are not needed. Antibiotics that can be used for more severe cases are ampicillen, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, nalidixic acid, or ciprofloxcin. Consequences of the infection are similar to those of salmonella. Such as, it might take a few months for entirely normal bowel movements and there is a chance of developing Reiter's syndrome. "Antidiarrheal age

Food poisoning is caused by bacteria in the food, so no, it is not contagious.

There are a couple that I know of, and they are foodborne. The first woudl be Trichinomas. It comes from eating undercooked pork. It's symptoms are swelling around the eyes, muscle pain, and fever. Another would be a tapeworm. Its biggest symptom is rapid weight loss. Another is a parasite you can get from certain fish. It's really gross. It attaches to your esophogus and lays its eggs there. The host usually learns about it by coughing up the eggs. Nasty!

is any illness resulting from the consumption of food contaminctious agents include pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, prions or parasites. Such contamination usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage. Good hygiene practices before, during, and after food preparation can reduce the chances of contracting an illness. The action of monitoring food to ensure that it will not cause foodborne illness is known as food safety. Foodborne disease can also be caused by a large variety of toxins that affect the environment. For foodborne illness caused by chemicals, see Food contaminants.

The most common organisms found are Campylobacter (an organism of animal or chicken origin), salmonella (also often of animal origin), Cryptosporidiosis (animal origin), Giardia Lamblia (lives in drinking water). Shigella (dysentery) is less common and usually human in origin. Cholera is rare in Western countries. It is more common in travelers and is usually related to contaminated water (its ultimate source is probably sea water). E Coli is probably a very common cause of diarrhea, especially in travelers, but it can be difficult to detect using current technology. The types of E. coli vary from area to area and country to country.\n\nViruses, particularly rotavirus is common in children. (Viral diarrhea is probably over-diagnosed by non-doctors). The Norwalk virus is rare.\n\nToxins and food poisoning can cause diarrhea. These include staphylococcal toxin (see Staphylococcus)(often milk products due to an infected wound in workers), and Bacillus cereus (eg rice in Chinese takeaways). Often "food poisoning" is really salmonella infection.\n\nDiarrhea is a common side effect of drugs (especially antibiotics). Clostridium difficile infection is potentially serious and is often related to antibiotic use.\n\nParasites and worms sometime cause diarrhea but often present with weight loss, irritability, rashes or anal itching. The commonest is pinworm (mostly of nuisance value rather than a severe medical illness). Other worms such as hook worm, ascaris and tapeworm are more medically significant and may cause weight loss, anemia, general unwellness and allergic problems. Amoebic dysentery due to Entaeomeba histolytica is an important cause of bloody diarrhea in travelers and also sometimes in western countries which requires appropriate and complete medical treatment.

Heartburn, diarrehea, constipation? Those are the 3 that some to mind. Vomiting could also be one, but that's more of a sour stomach.

A nasty little problem!\nStaphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS), Link 1.\nMethycillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Link 2.\nGastroenteritis from absorption of Staphylococcal endotoxins formed in food before it was eaten, Link 2.\n\nLink 3. is an interesting general information site.
