Food poisoning can be a reason of eating food or drinking beverage
that has been contaminated with harmful substances including bacteria, viruses,
parasites or others. Vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain are the most
common symptoms of food poisoning. Usually, nausea and vomiting within six
hours are caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Abdominal cramp
and diarrhea within 8-16 hours are caused by Clostridium perfringens and
Bacillus cereus.
