Types of food poisoning

[citysides]

Does any one know what kind of food poisoning you get from different kinds of food? I know you can get E. Coli from undercook meat and raw veggies, and Salmonella from chicken and eggs...but I hear people say they ate bad fish...what do you get from that? And mayo, I am not sure how you get food poisoning from it, because doesn't the vinegar in it kill all the bacteria? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Mayo is because it has raw eggs in it, I think.


Sorry I don't know more!

Don't get hung up on all this though - the bacteria have to be present in significant amounts to cause illness.


Read it with an open mind and remember how much of everything you have eaten in the past and not gotten ill! I really don't want to be responsible for people avoiding food!
