Bacteria (Lesson 24)
Did you ever have a 24-hour bug? Flu-like symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps, that last only a day or less are often from a foodborne illness. Harmful bacteria (germs) can be in food. Proper food handling can keep food safe. The first step in understanding foodborne illness is to learn how and why disease-causing bacteria spread. Then you are better able to prevent foodborne illness.
