Don't Consider It A Trivial! This Is The Long-Term Effect Of Food Toxics On The Body

Long-term effects of food poisoning (freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - The long-term effects of food poisoning are often not realized by many people. Although the symptoms appear mild, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, toxins from contaminated foods can have serious impacts on organs in the body.

If not treated properly, food poisoning can trigger chronic digestive disorders, liver damage, and the problem of the immune system.

For this reason, it is important for you to understand the causes and ways of preventing the body from staying healthy and avoiding these dangerous risks.

Reporting from the Stop Foodborne Illness page, food poisoning not only causes temporary symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea, but can also cause long-term effects such as high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney damage, chronic joint inflammation, Guillain-Barre syndrome, to brain and nerve disorders.

In addition, certain infections such as E. coli can even cause kidney failure or Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which risks triggering serious complications in the future.

Well, for those of you who have been poisoned, routine checks such as blood tests, blood pressure, and urine are essential for monitoring kidney function after infection.

Then some people with Campylobacter, Shigella, or Salmonella infections can develop Reactive Arthritis, which is joint inflammation that can last months to years and is difficult to cure.

Some bacterial infections such as Lysteria can also cause meningitis, paralysis, visual impairment, to loss of hearing. In fact, about 40% of cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome in the United States are suspected to have been triggered by Campylobacter infection from contaminated foods.

For example in cases such as Alyssa, who was poisoned by E. coli at the age of five due to contaminated meat, shows that the long-term effects of food poisoning can last a lifetime.

Alyssa is now suffering from high blood pressure, chronic intestinal inflammation, and endometrosis. As Dr. Robert Tauxe of the CDC reveals, many people think their condition will return to normal after recovering from poisoning, even though their long-term impacts often escape attention and are still under study.

The long-term effects of food poisoning can be much more serious than imagined. Quoting from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the story of Cameron and Mari Tardiff shows that suffering from contaminated food does not stop after symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea subside.

Cameron had to live with reactive arthritis that made the joints stiff and painful for years, while Mari lost her ability to walk due to Guillain-Barre syndrome after consuming raw milk contaminated with Campylobacter.

Cases like this are not rare. Data Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 200,000 people a year experience chronic diseases after food poisoning, including Irretable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Reactive Arthritis. Even bacterial infections such as E. coli O157: H7 can cause Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which leads to kidney failure or permanent nerve disorders.

The long-term effect of food poisoning is not only physically damaging, but also affects the mental, emotional, and quality of life of the sufferer. Children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those who have weak immune system, are among the most vulnerable groups.

Therefore, maintaining food hygiene, ensuring perfect cooked food, and being careful in choosing food sources are important steps to prevent future fatal impacts.
