Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is a common, yet distressing and sometimes life-threatening problem for millions of people in the U.S., and throughout the world. People infected with foodborne organisms may be symptom-free or may have symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to severe dehydration and bloody diarrhea. Depending on the type of infection, people can even die as a result of food poisoning.Dun dun dunnnn
More than 250 different diseases can cause food poisoning (so danielle she could have gotten food poisoning and not have the same symptoms as you). Some of the most common diseases are infections caused by bacteria, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, and botulism.
Out of the different bacteria that cause food poisoning i'm guessing it was probably this one perhaps from those beans at Honeybrook? doubtful but who knows it's a guess but most likely it was the lox she ate.
Listeria is a bacteria primarily found in soil and water. According to the CDC, vegetables can become contaminated from soil or from manure used as fertilizer. Animals carrying the bacterium can also contaminate food. Listeria has been found in many types of uncooked foods, such as meats and vegetables, as well as in processed foods that become contaminated after processing, such as soft cheeses (such as feta and crumbled blue cheese) and cold cuts.
