How to avoid food poisoning in summer?

In summer, you should avoid eating dried fish and pastries with cream. They often cause food poisoning due to improper storage conditions.

In addition, when purchasing food products, you need to pay attention to their expiration date. Ready meals must be sold within 6-12 hours after production. If storage and sales conditions are violated, pathogenic microorganisms and toxins accumulate in products, which can cause poisoning and intestinal diseases.

Particular attention should be paid to products from spontaneous markets and street stalls - they are often sold in violation of sanitary standards.

The causative agents of salmonellosis are found in eggs, milk, and meat. Dysentery and gastroenterocolitis - due to infected milk and vegetables, botulism - due to consumption of dried fish.

However, 50% of cases of intestinal infections are caused by eating home-cooked food. People are inattentive when purchasing and processing products. Therefore, it is important to observe the rules of personal hygiene and carefully handle food during storage and preparation.
