Human: What is food poisoning?

Assistant: I’m not a doctor, but I can give you some information about it!  
Food poisoning is a type of illness caused by consuming contaminated food. It’s usually considered to be an infection in the digestive tract. There are a variety of pathogens (disease causing organisms) that can cause this infection, including viruses, bacteria, or toxins. Common symptoms of food poisoning include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, cramps, headache, and fever.  It can be spread to others through contaminated surfaces and food, and through poor hygiene. The illness usually only lasts a few days, but may result in a weakened immune system.  People who are ill should drink plenty of water, to avoid dehydration.  If dehydration becomes a concern, I would recommend that the person see a doctor.
