In addition to providing the body with useful and important nutrients, food can also pose risks. It is important to monitor what we consume, as food poisoning can even be life-threatening. Let's see which foods can be dangerous ...
Oysters
Before being transformed into an expensive delicacy, oysters hide on the seabed and their function is to filter the water. However, when it is contaminated, the oysters themselves become contaminated.
If served raw and unprocessed, they may contain germs and bacteria that can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea .
Cheese
Although restaurants are a major cause of food poisoning, more people who get sick from cheese consume these products at home.
The cheese may be contaminated with bacteria such as Salmonella or Listeria , which carry a risk of miscarriage. For this reason, doctors advise pregnant women to avoid eating certain types of cheese .
Ice cream
The sweet temptation is associated with 75 outbreaks that "exploded" due to the bacteria Salmonella and Staphylococcus between 1990 and 2006. The reason lies in the unpasteurized eggs that are part of the ice cream. Infection can also occur when we make our own ice cream at home using raw eggs.
And although the weather is increasingly expected to get colder, there are people who succumb to the sweet temptation all year round, so we have to be careful.
Raw milk
Raw milk is not pasteurized or heat-treated to kill bacteria . Consumption in its raw form can infect the same bacteria that are found in the animal - Salmonella , Campylobacter and E. coli .
