Množina: food poisonings

Illness caused by poisonous or contaminated food; SYN. gastrointestinal disorder, ptomaine poisoning, ptomaine.
Any acute illness characterized by vomiting and diarrhea and caused by eating food contaminated with harmful bacteria (for example, listeriosis), poisonous food (for example, certain mushrooms, puffer fish), or poisoned food (such as lead or arsenic introduced accidentally during processing). A frequent cause of food poisoning is Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella comes in many forms, and strains are found in cattle, pigs, poultry, and eggs.
Deep freezing of poultry before the birds are properly cooked is a common cause of food poisoning. Attacks of salmonella also come from contaminated eggs that have been eaten raw or cooked only lightly. Pork may carry the roundworm Trichinella, and rye the parasitic fungus ergot. The most dangerous food poison is the bacillus that causes botulism. This is rare but leads to muscle paralysis and, often, death. Food irradiation is intended to prevent food poisoning.
In the US the American Food and Drug Administration estimates that there are at least 24 million cases of food poisoning per year, and maybe as many as 81 million.
