E. COLI FOOD POISONING
Common Sources of E. Coli Food Poisoning
Ground Beef
It’s important to note that E. coli from different parts of cattle can enter meat during processing. If a customer becomes ill after consuming undercooked ground beef at a restaurant, the restaurant is responsible. Likewise, if a supermarket sells contaminated food, they are also accountable.
Unwashed Vegetables
Properly washing fresh produce, especially lettuce and spinach, is crucial due to contamination by cattle farm runoff, according to the CDC.
Breaking Sanitation Guidelines
If restaurant workers do not adhere to proper sanitation guidelines, they may contaminate food with harmful bacteria.
Possible Complications of E. coli
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a rare but serious condition that can occur when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells. This can lead to kidney failure, anemia, and low platelet count. In severe cases, it can cause seizures, coma, and stroke.
Cardiovascular Disease
In some cases of E. coli infection, long-term cardiovascular complications can occur. This can worsen preexisting heart conditions in the elderly and cause new conditions such as chronic high blood pressure in children.
Intestinal Damage
E. coli is a bacteria that can cause intestinal infections, leading to long-term problems like IBS.
Death
Untreated it can lead to death, especially in children and the elderly who are more vulnerable to the serious complications that may arise.
