listeria,
the

food
poisoning
and
severe
side
effects.

wash
the
vegetables
and
fruits
thoroughly
before
eating
raw
or
while
making
salads.
Personal
Hygiene
Wash
your
hands
before
and
eating
food
and
after
using
toilets.
Thoroughly
clean
the
cooking
vessels,
cutting
boards
and
knives
in
hot
soapy
water
to
prevent
bacteria
from
residing
in
it
which
causes
food
poisoning.
Avoid
Unpasteurized
Milk
Do
not
use
unpasteurized
milk
and
milk
products
as
it
contains
a
bacteria
called
listeria
that
causes

a
serious
type
of
food
poisoning

It is safe to include cheeses like mozzarella and not use cheeses made from unpasteurized milk.
Shop

Store
Safely
Take
necessary
steps

store
and
serve
foods
in
a
proper
manner
to
prevent
contamination.
When
you
are
in
doubt,
never
taste
any
food
that
you
suspect,
particularly,

Even though the food does not have any foul smell, it still can be contaminated.
Check

Consult

Once
if

that
you
have
developed
food
poisoning,
immediately
consult
your
physician.
The doctor will do the necessary tests to confirm food poisoning and if it is listeriosis then he will prescribe antibiotics.
Dehydration
Vomiting

diarrhoea
will
cause
you
to
lose
more
body
fluids.

re-hydration
powder
to
keep
yourself
hydrated.
Before we conclude, it is better to take proper precautions rather than treat food poisoning, especially if you are pregnant.
