From the preeminent journalist and authority on contaminated food, a one-of-a-kind guide for safeguarding against food hazards.
Slight fever. Nausea. A rumbling in the stomach. Diarrhea. What you might think is the flu was probably something you ate. Food-borne illness afflicts 81,000,000 Americans each year, killing 9,000 annually, and yet too many people ignore the fatal hazards lurking in our markets, restaurants, and kitchens.
Now food-pathogen expert Nicols Fox offers a useful, informative guide to preventing, diagnosing, and surviving a food-borne illness. Far more serious than a slight discomfort in the abdomen, food-based pathogens can have long-term physical consequences, leaving victims with lifelong impairment of the digestive system and damage to the lungs, ears, kidneys, brain, and heart. Fox surveys the complicated terrain of food-borne disease, profiling common and uncommon pathogens such as Salmonella, hepatitis A, E. coli, Campylobacter, and Cyclospora. She also outlines practical advice for dealing with common symptoms and illness-prevention techniques for the home and restaurants. Combining the real stories of victims of food-borne illness with the most up-to-date information about emerging food-borne pathogens, It Was Probably Something You Ate is a sourcebook you may not be able to live without.

New Report From FDA On Food Borne Illness
A report released from the FDA says they are unable to prevent food borne illnesses because they are understaffed.
US Food Safety Hotline Works to Prevent Food-Borne Illness
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about one-in-six Americans get sick from food poisoning every year and about 3000 of them die. Health officials say those numbers usually rise during this time of year as more Americans take advantage of warm weather by cooking and eating outdoors. VOA´s Chris Simkins has more on efforts to improve food safety and how a group of people near Washington, DC are working to educate consumers against food-borne illness.
