Answer 1

if you have food poisoning,what are you doing on here. get your butt to the ER!

Answer 2

Symptoms of Food Poisoning:

1. Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea
2. Bloody diarrhea or pus in the stool
3. Upset stomach, some abdominal pain, cramps
4. Fever that lasts longer than 24 hours
5. Dizziness, fainting, rapid heart rate
6. Weakness, numbness or tingling in the arms, legs or mouth

Time is generally the best remedy.

1. If you feel indigestion, or get sour burp, and/or loose motions, or for general stomach upsets, you can do the following:
Drink mint essense (available as Pudin Hara or Amritdhara in India. These are mint or peppermint essense.), 3-4 drops in water, every one hour. Also drink Jaljeera (a mixture of cumin, salt, asafetida and other herbs) 2-3 times. Let the poison get out of your body through vomitting or motions. First you will throw poisonous foods and then water (Drink lots of water with sugar and salt). You should be alright in less than 24 hours. Start this treatment as soon as you start getting sour burps. You may drink mint essense (3-4 drops in water) after you eat in a restaurant or party or you have overeaten.

2. Mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in a cup of hot water before a meal to prevent acid indigestion.

3. Add three drops of garlic oil to half a cup of soya oil and rub onto the stomach after food.

4. Drink a herbal tea of mint, raspberry, camomile and blackberry.

5. Drink ¼ cup of charcoal powder mixed with a glass of water.

6. Drink one cup of ginger tea after meals to promote a good digestion and for hearetburn, nausea, etc.

7. Eat some bread, Bread has a tendency to soak up the poison and can give you a quick relief.

8. Drink 2 tablespoons of undiluted apple cider vinegar (pasteurized).

In most cases, the effective treatment is to lie down and drink plenty of bland fluids such as water, diluted fruit juice or light tea.

You should go to a Doctor if

1. the symptoms (signs) of food poisoning last for more than two days even after home food poisoning treatment OR

2. there is a fever with or without shivers or chills OR

3. there is a diarrhea that is very watery (If enough fluid is lost through diarrhea or vomiting, it can affect the body's salt balance ) OR

4. there is blood mixed in with the stools (could be due to E. Coli and other common food-borne pathogens) OR

5. there is pus or mucus (whitish-gray in color) mixed in with the stools OR

6. there are signs of dehydration (intense thirst, dry lips and tongue, increased heart and breathing rates, weakness, and dizziness.) OR

7. anyone else in your family is also sick with similar symptoms.

Answer 3

That's a pretty general statement. You should go to a doctor because some forms of food poisoning are fatal.

Answer 4

"The CDC estimates that there are 76 million cases of foodborne illness in the United States each year. Of these cases, about 300,000 people are hospitalized, and 5,000 people die. Everyone is at risk for the disease, however, pregnant women (and their fetuses), infants and children, the elderly, and the severely ill are at greatest risk for severe complications, permanent disability, and death."
Go to the ER asap.

Answer 5

I assume you're having gastro symptoms -- nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and/or diarrhea. If so, you need to avoid dehydration -- drink water, tea, clear juice, or suck ice chips if nothing else stays down. Follow the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Rest.

If it lasts longer than a few days, or if you have signs of dehydration, call your doctor.

Answer 6

Drink as many glasses of lukewarm water as you can. It will help dilute the poison.

Answer 7

drink lots of water, keep eating, go to the doctor

Answer 8

go to hospital and throw up

Answer 9

Go to the hospital NOW .
