The rise in food poisoning during summer poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Severe cases can lead to dehydration, sepsis, or other life-threatening complications if untreated. Contagion is also a concern, as some foodborne illnesses can spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or improper hygiene. Symptoms like dizziness, confusion, or the inability to tolerate liquids signal the need for immediate medical care. Proper food handling, storage, and hygiene practices are essential to mitigate these risks.
