About Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is what occurs when people swallow food or water contaminated with parasites, bacteria, viruses or other toxins. People can get food poisoning at restaurants, home, on picnics, even at the school cafeteria. Food poisoning rarely results in anything more serious than a few days illness. The best way to avoid food poisoning is to make sure you don't eat undercooked meat, poultry, or eggs.
About Dehydration
Dehydration is common in our hurried lives, as many people fail to drink enough water, or they mistake thirst for hunger and eat more food instead of drinking fluids. Coffee and carbonated beverages are no substitute for plain water. When ill and when exercising the body needs even more fluids.
About Fever
A fever is defined as a temperature of 1 degree or more above the normal 98.6 F. They can occur due to many different reasons. Some reasons include illness like scarlet fever, swine flu, and even hay fever (if your sinuses become infected). Illness from mosquitoes such as Dengue Fever and Malaria can cause severe fevers.Fevers can be symptoms of many diseases and conditions and are the body's attempt to get rid of toxins in the body. When a fever 'breaks', or goes down, it is often a sign that the disease has been overcome. Fevers can be dangerous if extreme.
