If there is anything I like about Patience Ozoknwo (a popular Nollywood actress) is her ability to taste all kind of poisons without dying or showing any symptom. Azzzzzin
Let me remind you of what she does; she drops a little poison in a food and stir it. Most time,her poisons are in powdered form,so she just sprinkles,stir and taste it. If paraventure,the poison is not enough as proved by her taste buds,she would add more. She would nod her head and give a wicked smile. As usual, it would kill her husband or her daughter in-law!
The first thing that comes to the mind of people when you mention food poisoning,is the village people syndrome. '’’Ah,Mama Ada wants to kill me,I knew so.I knew it was poision I ate,no wonder the food was so sweet','Chimo,my village people at work'’..
Well,food poisoning is a foodborne illness caused by the ingestion of contaminated food and drinks.The most common source of food poisoning are food eaten raw.All ye lover of Salads,when food posioning gets you,you will become Saladin! This is because they do not undergo cooking process. Cooking helps to kill pathogens in our foods before we eat them,makes them lifeless 😀.
The biggest culprit of food poisoning is bacteria but parasites and viruses self no dey carry last.
Anyone could come down with food poison,it doesn’t matter if you are related to Patience or not. Well,I can only tell of the odeshi of my immune system,not yours!
It starts from ingesting a contaminated food and having symptoms such as diarrhea,abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting and weakness. The diarrhea and vomiting can lead to dehydration if it becomes severe.
However,Food poisoning can be prevented by the following:
>< Regular washing of the hands especially before cooking and before serving foods.
>< Do not put cooked and uncooked meats together
>
Ehen,beware of some Owanbe foods. For the fact that you bought Ankara doesnt mean you must get Semo of food poisoning.
