6. Food Poisoning
Bacteria are everywhere. They are on the food that we eat and healthy people even have certain bacteria living in their intestines. The good news is that the vast majority are completely harmless to us. The bad news is that some can cause us a great deal of harm.
If the wrong type of bacteria is on your food then you may feel very sick indeed and it can cause considerable stomach pain. While it is all but impossible to be completely safe, you can still improve your safety a great deal. Practice good hygiene and make sure that your food is thoroughly cooked and you should hopefully avoid picking up food poisoning.
