I hope this is only your answer which u r searching for..
There are a host of microorganisms that can cause food poisoning. The most common culprits are Entamoeba (a common parasite that can cause dysentery), Giardia (another parasite that causes diarrhea), Campylobacter, Shigella, Salmonella (bacteria that causes typhoid), E coli, Listeria and Norovirus.
Most of the above mentioned causative agents are found in foodstuffs. Eating or drinking contaminated foods is an easy way of contracting any of them. The foodstuffs that are often the source of infection are, green leafy vegetables, any raw vegetable, raw eggs, raw fruit juices, milk and dairy products, sprouts, tuna and other seafood. Recently, in a study published in the journal, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, researchers from Shanghai Ocean University concluded that oysters are an important source of Norovirus infections. Apart from food, animal feces, diapers, agricultural products and swimming pools can also be a source of infection.
Signs and symptoms
Whatever the source of infection, food poisoning is characterised by abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, fever and body ache. Dysentery is characterised by loose stools with blood and mucous. Even though most cases of food poisoning settle in a period of 5-7 days, they can persist and worsen with potentially life-threatening consequences in those who are young, elderly, or with a low immune status (such as pregnant women and those with HIV infection).
Treatment
Barring bacterial and parasitic infections, for which antibiotics and anti-parasitic medications can be prescribed, the mainstay of treatment of food poisoning is supportive in nature. Fluid replacement is vital as dehydration can set in very quickly in the presence of vomiting and diarrhea. Increasing oral intake of mineral rich fluids such as coconut water, and safe fruit juices is necessary, and in severe cases, hospitalization with intravenous fluid replacement would be necessary. In children, Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), which is available in most pharmacies and Primary Health Care Centers, is a very important step in the treatment. In the absence of ORS, 6 teaspoons of sugar and half teaspoon of salt can be mixed in a liter of boiled and cooled water, and used to rehydrate both children and adults.
