Proper
hygiene is to be
practiced to prevent food poisoning.
Be careful of the types
of food you buy i.e. canned foods. Ensure you do not buy if cans are opened or ruptured. Always check for expiry date. Washing hands thoroughly and
cooking food properly is very important in preventing food poisoning. Good cooking, processing
and storage prevent food poisoning. Continue...
•Avoid
eating raw or undercooked meat or poultry products, including eggs.
•
Avoid "cross-contamination" which can occur if food is being prepared
using the same utensils, or on the same surfaces, as those used for raw or
undercooked meats or poultry products.
•
•Wash
hands frequently during and after food preparation. Those with a salmonella
infection should not be involved in food preparation.
•Wash
hands with soap after handling birds or after contact with pet faeces and also avoid
contact between infants or people with weakened immune systems.
•Drink
a lot of water and ORT to replace fluids and minerals lost through vomiting and
diarrhea.
Get plenty of rest.
